Stall = Engine stall?? Why do they always seem to screw this up??

Because the aviation use of 'stall' is totally foreign to them, and
they know what an engine stall is, and assume that is what happened.

I think whoever suggested replacing aerodynamic stall with the term
'wing fart' (Jim Weir maybe?) has the right idea. The only way to
get the general public to not think stall = engine stall is to use
a term that has no meaning to the general public.
