The term "stalling" has several meanings, depending on the context in which it is used.
1) In aviation, stalling refers to a condition where an aircraft's wings lose their ability to generate lift due to exceeding their critical angle of attack, causing the plane to lose altitude rapidly unless corrective action is taken by the pilot.
2) In politics or negotiations, "stalling" can refer to delay tactics used by one side to avoid making a decision or reaching an agreement.
3) In everyday language, stalling may also mean hesitating, procrastinating, or postponing something that needs to be done.
