Puddle Jumper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term "puddle jumper" has different meanings:

  • "Puddle jumper" is used to describe small commuter aircraft.
  • "Puddle Jumper" is also the name of a type of Ancient spacecraft from the series Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate SG-1.
  • A "puddle jumper" is a small toy, featuring a propeller on the end of a stick. By rubbing your hands together around the stick and releasing the stick when the propeller reaches high speed, the puddle jumper can be launched into the air. An experienced puddle-jumper can control the direction, elevation, and distance of the flight and play catch with the device.
  • A non-PC term. If one comes across a puddle one dances over it so one doesn't get one's feet wet, rather than tramping through it like a real man.
