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...

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