I've also heard "prop wash."

In our cable headend, they had a cable line that was about 6" too short to reach where it needed to go, so they had someone go out to the warehouse to get the cable stretcher.....

I remember the safety guy wanted a long flat belt painted red for safety but the engineers said they didn't have time, and it would
impair operations if any got on the inside, so they talked the safety guy into painting it and secretly turned it into a mobious belt by
un stapleing it and putting a half twist in it.
