Wiktionary
lomcevaknoun
An aerobatic flying manoeuvre in which the pilot follows a knife-edge roll by flipping the airplane end-over-end and into a spin, from which the pilot then recovers control of the airplane.
Etymology: Derived from a Czechoslovakian word which roughly means "headache" or "hangover", the expression "lomcevak" originated from the Moravia region, famous for its Jelinek slivovitz, a traditional Czechoslovakian alcohol, and is commonly used to describe the rotating motions of one who has had one too many. The English use originates from Czechoslovakian aerobatic pilot Ladislav Bezák's mechanic, who at a 1958 air show in Brno, Czechoslovakia, jokingly called Bezák's tumble manoeuvres "Lomcevaks" when asked by journalists what they were.

Liškutín, a Czechoslovak fighter pilot, veteran of the RAF, this maneuver was flown by himself and other pilots on Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann biplanes at early post-WWII period air shows around Czechoslovakia and was called "talířek" due to the horizontal rotary movement of the aircraft.
