OK, here is the way I understand this.
In the USA we have fenders over the tires to prevent the tires from
throwing mud and rocks. They fend off the flying objects.
In the UK they have wings over the tyres to prevent the tyres from
throwing mud and rocks. In early cars they looked like wings sprouting
from the body.
In the USA we have bumpers at the end of the cars that bump into things.

They fend off objects like the odd sheep hanging about on the road.
Tell me if all these definitions are correct.
And John, what's with the weird encoding of your message? We computer
idiots would prefer ordinary text :-)
