So I was helping out with ground school class today (for flying), and I was most amused at the little memory thingy the instructor came up with to remember the four strokes of a piston engine.

Suck, squeeze, ***, and go.

"Of course," he said, "don't use those terms on the exam. They are not very technically correct."

(suck being intake, squeeze being compression, *** being power, and go being exaust)

we got told this in physics as well

i think the real one is suck squash bang blow isnt it?

i hope no one was actually stupid to write suck squeeze *** and go on their a level paper...
