"Losing an engine" is a pretty standard term for a failure. Up the this point I've been encouraged that the average poster here at FT is well educated and picks up on non-literal speak. I'm now realizing I may have misread the room. Moving forward, I'll adjust my posts to align with my time in engineering school where everyone talks like robots being held at gunpoint..... just to be sure the conversation can be quickly and accurately digested by everyone.
