LOL thanks for the laughs.

What i want to know, why people call an engine a motor but never the other way round?

I always take exception to this phrase or ask which motor they are referring to, (starter, wiper, window...)

Maybe now that electric cars are so big we can start offending their owners by calling the motor an engine!
