I recall a description of the operation of a 4-cycle engine as "suck,
squeeze, pop, phooey" It omits a few thermodynamic details and
perhaps isn't achingly accurate, but it is certainly descriptive!

Hahaha! Oh, I love it....

IIRC, this description was used by the lady who hosted the early
"Junkyard Wars" TV program from the UK. :-)

She was a _definite_ hotty and the show was a lot of fun early on.

History is often stranger than fiction. Fiction has to be plausible.
History is what happens when people don't follow the script.
