Berating us about jet engine, say (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
gas turbine
'jet engine say' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'berating us about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'berating'+'us'='beratingus'
'beratingus' with letters rearranged gives 'GAS-TURBINE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
