Fuchs or Fokkers
Sir Douglas Bader, British flying ace (who lost his legs in combat) is credited with the following story told at a girls' school about his wartime battles:
"So there were two of the fokkers behind me, there of the fokkers to my right, another to my left". The headmistress went pale and and interjected, "Ladies, the Fokker was a German aircraft." Sir Douglas replied, "That may be, madam, but these fokkers were flying Messerschmitts!" So what do you call your wheels? Mine are Fuchs, rhyme with books...

Bader lost his legs in a pre war flying incident.

And a Dirty Fokker is one that the round crew couldn't be bothered cleaning.
