"RE: Jerry Rosie's Plum Krazee!" 07-12-02, 15:51z  Hi Jerry, > Burns mogas and the wings come off so I can hanger it in a garage.... > trailer it between garage and airfield - or - on a good day.....take off > from the back yard Congratulations ... have fun! You must send us a few pictures when you're airborne. Maybe you can organize for some co-pilot in another plane to take a shot of you when flying. By the way: What made you name this thingy "Plum Krazee"? From my limited knowledge of the English language this sounds to me like a slang form for "crazy plum". Is that correct? I saw hints in the WWW to wild-water riding in Canada also named "Plum Krazee". Regards, Guido -OLR.PL v1.76- Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Please don't ask me why <g>. So the name of Jerry's plane means "Completely Crazy."

PeteDowson Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 9. "RE: Jerry Rosie's Plum Krazee!" 07-13-02, 01:00z  Hi Mike, Guido, > Not really. In that sense, "plum" is a twisted slang term for > completely. Please don't ask me why <g>. I think it's a mis-spelling (American spelling?) of "plumb", which is a word related to "plummet", meaning vertical or perpendicular (as in plumb line), later downright or sheer. It's come to mean "completely" or "absolutely" in American slang. This is similar to the English slang "straight up" meaning the same thing, though mostly used on its own in emphatic confirmation, as in "straight up, guv'" meaning "oh, yes, absolutely, sir!" <G> Thought you'd like to know. <G> Pete -= VPC OffLine Reader Version 1.1.0.0 =- Registered to: Peter L.

From my limited knowledge of the English language this sounds to me like a slang form for "crazy plum". Is that correct?<< Not really. Plum is a slang term for "completely" (as well as being a fruit), and crazy is simply misspelled. So the name of Jerry's plane means "Completely Crazy."

jerryrosie Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 10. "RE: Jerry Rosie's Plum Krazee!" 07-13-02, 12:08z  >>By the way: What made you name this thingy "Plum Krazee"?<< Actually, I didn't. The guy who built it named it and I liked the name so decided to keep it. He says it is what his wife thought of him when he started to build it . Plum Krazee is a play on words - there is an American expression about someone being "plumb crazy" - plumb being a trades expression meaning "straight - lined up and certified" so the phrase "plumb crazy" is taken to mean someone certifiable as 'mentally deficient'. Plum is, not only the name of a fruit, but also the color of that fruit - a deep purple - thus Plum Krazee recognizes the color of the airplane and the Krazee spelling of Crazy just emphasizes how crazy it really is.....<]:¬) Will get whatever pics may be available when I get her airborne... have my fourth Ultra light training session at 1600 today..... ***Reality - The refuge of those who can't handle simulation*** Cheers, Jerry (N94) **** VPC OffLine Reader Version 1.0.0.0 **** ++++ Registered to: Gerald J.
