Not that knowing this will make any difference now. I can imagine the response I'd get if I asked for a "she-op wah" motor at school: "you want a what?!"
WOW! The debate is finally over! Except for one thing, did they say "she" like "shey" or "shee" and is the "op" like in the word operation or is it like "oh-p" If you can clear this up the world will come to peace.
