A misfit who takes pride in his ability to manipulate others. Commonly a young white male who also has interests in hacking, computer games, and being made fun of in high school.
The feats of a social engineer are insignificant compared to a meaningful relationship with even a single good friend.

The process which interested parties utilize governing functions to steer the course of the human condition.
The religious sects are blocking gay marriage through the federal government to penalize homosexuals. Marriage is being used as a Social Engineering tool to create a heterosexual society.
Teachers and Professors are largely liberal, Socially Engineering the thought process of young individuals through schools which are the governing function related to training the youth.
Today's inner city slums are largely the work of zoning laws passed by segregationists working at the local and state government level. Those institutions were used to socially engineer neighborhoods in a clean and comfortable environment for one group of individuals and a living space zoned alongside industrial centers and other hazards for another group of individuals.

1. You are at a fancy restaurant and have just finished eating. The waiter comes to take your plate, but as he picks it up, you use slight of hand and manuevering to make it appear as if the waiter has dropped the plate (and the food residue on it) all over your shirt. You complain angrily, call for the manager, et al. The manager winds up giving you the meal for free.
2. You, as a black hat, walk up to a smoke break outside of a company who you want to steal credit card numbers for. Employees are whining about their randomized passwords. You memorize one of them, and then go off with that information in order to gain access into the company firewall.
