ROFLPTER
Pter Prker, the amazing Spderman
It’s actually a play on Latin: “arker” as a bastardization of “Arachne” meaning spider + “peterp” which roughly translates to “exceptional person”
So it should be quadpter then
Considering pteron is greek and quad is latin, it should probably have been tetrapter. Which actually rolls off the tongue better.
In Czech we call it “vrtulník” (propeller thing), which I find kinda hilarious now that I think about it.
Yeah like pterodactyl
Joyful types go helicopterodactyl.
Spiraling wind finger?
Is that from Naruto?
Nah, Sailor Moon had something like that
Or Archeopterix!
In Lithuanian, we escaped the madness by making up our own name for it:
Sraigtasparnis = sraigtas (cog) + sparnas (wing)
Not to be confused with the word for autogyro:
Malūnsparnis = malūnas (mill) + sparnas (wing)
Which is not interesting unless you are writing some alternate history with aircraft in it and want to call them something with no Greek or Latin.
This is my favorite fun fact to tell. Please don’t spread the word too far or it stops being amazing
I dont get it. Is this read from left to right or from right to left? Manga typically reads from right to left, but judging from her reaction neither makes sense… She is not making a “wha-” expression, which indicates that it came before, but she is already turning her head, which indicates that it it came after. WHAT.
Yes almost perfect, but she is already turning her head in 2nd panel, but in 3rd panel she is looking in front of her. Perhaps copy pasting the 4th panel onto the 3rd but removing the text bubble. But then again, how does the original even work? It’s flawed…incurable…better we stop now.

Thanks cap obvious
I somehow didn’t see the top comment and deleted it but I guess not quick enough :(
Left to right. The two big panels are the first and last panels respectively.
But her reaction on the last big panel is more in line with her initial surprise to what she said, not the shocked reaction after having said wha-
I think the intended idea was that she freezes mid-sentence in shock after fully comprehending what was said. Shrunken iris, mouth half open… I personally think the reaction makes sense.
See also “ornitho” (relating to birds) and “pter” (wing) creating the term ornithopter for a heavier than air vehicle that flies by flapping its wings. Famously seen in Dune, but I think also back in the day people actually tried to make them, long before aircraft existed.
Yeah that’s mad
