Get the fool stack engineer mug.He solves problems. Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. He solves practical problems.

Like this heavy caliber tripod-mounted little ol' number designed by him, built by him, and you best hope.... not pointed at you

Usually accomplished without proper engineering knowledge or training, without proper materials and components, or without proper tools for the job at hand. More often lacking all three.
A skill typically employed by individuals who can be described as 'born engineers' or as being naturally gifted with a 'head for tinkering'. These individuals likely could have done well in the STEM fields if they ever had the resources or opportunity to attend the proper schooling or purchase the proper tools and training.
Commonly used in rural environments found in and around economically depressed areas near the Appalachian Mountains in the United States.
Synonymous with the term 'Redneck Engineering', or in urban environments 'Improvisational Engineering' or 'Jury-rigging'.
