Pretty sure if you type it out here, the infantile swear filter catches it anyway, so typing out 'the r-word' is necessary for his story to have any context whatsoever. Otherwise, he could have typed ######, but everyone thought he meant ######.
When first heard from the jump seat or in a simulator, the Airbus call out of "50…40…30…20…######, ######" can sound a bit odd. Numerous jokes have popped up. After all, who would want to fly a plane that insults its pilot?
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the verb ###### as "to delay or impede the development or progress of…to slow up, especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment. For example, chemicals are used to ###### the spread of fire."
In the example of an aircraft, the thrust levers are moved aft to ###### the power produced by the engines.
