Or Verso?

As I think I have mentioned before, my Dad was an engineer (not to mention a hands-on jack of all trades,) so dinner conversations at my house often consisted of some fairly scientific explanations of various projects that Dad had going. Chemistry, physics, mechanical principles - all were simply components of how my father understood the world, so that’s how he explained them to us.

For the most part, his explanations were quite comprehensible: logically explained and well-illustrated. Every once in a while, however, my tendency to invert things would rear its ugly head and muddle me up considerably. And like anything learned incorrectly first time ‘round, I would often struggle to remember the correct meaning from that point onward. Which meant that every winter, when it came time for an oil change, an argument ensued.

So, to save my poor father’s rolling eyeballs, in My Perfect World, I will understand Viscosity.

(It should be straightforward but I get turned around trying to recall if the thing being measured is the resistance or the flow... Is a high number super-sluggish or super-fast?)

(Don't answer that! I need to get this straight, darn it!)
