Can someone tell me what it means?
It means some white people are in fact white people. Also means they're a perfect target for beach jokes to make them feel even more self conscious about their whiteness. 👍
 
These threads have been going on for so long I hesitate to post any picture for fear it is a repost that I can't find, but here goes.

Do some of us know half of said couple? ;)
Possibly.

How else would you spell Steve and Stacy???
I knew a Stephen (pronounced like Steven) who went by Steph. And Stacie, Stacey, Stacee, and the god awful Staycee.

I honestly didn't know about this.

I play too many coaster simulators. I know the difference but to me it is a corkscrew and a barrel roll.
 
Wow someone as nerdy as me.

Looks to me like a corkscrew or aileron roll is just a tighter barrel. I understand that the distinction might be the control surface used to achieve the roll, but the bottom line is that from outside the plane the top one is just a super tight version of the bottom one.
 
In an aileron roll I believe the X axis remains steady while the wings rotate around the fuselage. The barrel roll would be the plane doing a full 360 perpendicular to the earth, perhaps with a latitudinal 360 combined. Feel free to correct me as I just puke all of that out off the top of my slightly intoxicated head.

EDIT: Sounds cool though, right?

You're getting close to the distinction I mentioned, which is control surfaces. But from the exterior of the plane, the barrel roll becomes an aileron roll as the barrel tightens. The X axis has to get more an more "steady" as the barrel shrinks.
