Yaw?

ha! yer killin' me here, smalls!

I know what "yaw" means (at least I think I do). But my definition of yaw (as well as te definition you've linked us to) doesn't seem to fit what the O.P. is describing. IE: hitting a pot-hole isn't likely to make you "spin around its center of gravity".

I wanted to hear from SamPedro what he feels like "yaw" is. (MY heritage is Scottish & Welsh... don't get them started on what "yaw" is. hahaha)
