I'm very dumb so I'm asking: is "engine rich exhaust" a real term?

  What do you mean by "real term"? Real rocket science teams really use phrases like this, including this one. Is it a joke? Yeah, kind of. Is it what they would say if they had no sense of humour? No, probably not. Is it still a thing the experts actually say to actually talk about what's going on? Yeah, it is. a few more examples: "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" : explosive destruction of the rocket "Lithobraking" : it's like aerobraking, but with less aero and more litho
