Hey look, buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems.
Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
I solve practical problems.
Fr'instance...
...How am I going to stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind?
The answer...
use a gun. And if that don't work
use more gun.
Like this Heavy caliber, tripod-mounted, little 'ol number designed by me
Built by me
...and you'd best hope not pointed at you.

Unable to purchases proper parts so Appalachian engineering to fabric what is needed to make something work.

noun
1. (of an undergraduate in college) a branch of STEM that focuses primarily on the movement of electrons and their applications in various ways. Those who practice electrical engineering (called Electrical Engineers, abbreviated EEE's) tend to lose touch with reality and become completely engulfed by concepts and math incomprehensible to all except other EEE’s and MATLAB. People often enter the field due to a severe lack of social success, including being unpopular in high school. They are then inspired to power through one excruciating class after another, enticed by the promises of large cash rewards straight out of college. The percentage of male electrical engineering students with girlfriends is given by the Planck constant, 6.626e-34…another reason why EEE's are persuaded to give up all hope of regular life and instead devote every last drop of mental energy to nearly failing every single class their academic advisor tells them to take. In between getting bullied by their coursework, many EEE’s take great delight in ridiculing other college students in general, and mechanical engineers and computer science majors in particular, for earning easier and less valuable degrees than their own.
ORIGIN
early-mid 19th century: from English, refers to researchers and scientists that discovered the foundational principles of electrical engineering, such as Georg Ohm (Ohm’s Law), Gustav Kirchhoff (KCL, KVL), James Maxwell (Maxwell’s Equations), and more.

1.
Girlfriend: I love you so much!
Electrical Engineer: I love you as much as the Bose-Einstein Distribution’s value at E = µ!
Girlfriend: What does that mean?
Electrical Engineer: It means I love you infinitely much, because at the point where the function goes to…*continues to ramble for a half-hour*
Business major: I feel so stressed, I think I’m going to crash out.
Electrical Engineer: Come do these MOSFET circuit experiments, obtain expressions for these electric fields, convolve these CT signals using Fourier transforms, and derive wave equations for these free electrons. If you aren’t doing electrical engineering, you don’t know what being stressed really feels like.

An individual who earns cryptocurrency as a living. Crytpo earnings are generated via buying and holding, staking, mining, or setting up Masternodes.
After years of dabbling in crypto, I am now able to be a full time crypto earning engineer. I generate crypto daily by trading, staking, mining, and setting up masternodes.

When an Engineer is consumed with self-esteem and glory, that despite the downfalls of the supporting product, environment, or company, and subsequent technical debt they are surrounded with (and possibly creating), they assist on creating the "shinny" new thing, and taking all the glory for its bloated success.
James Bond loved being in the spotlight so much, that he sacrificed the integrity of his work and well being of his team, to speedily re-created the company website on his own without consulting his team members. The results worked well, for 1/2 of all customers, but hey! Its really shinny! His ego-engineering communications and broadcast got him promoted, though he continues to break and create technical debt for the Company.

An act of spontaneous repair or fabrication of an item or system sometimes used in a humorous or self deprecating fashion.
Solving a technical issue in a temporary manor until a permanent replacement can be acquired if that is even possible.
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'.
The products of Appalachian Engineering are sometimes, but not necessarily always, considered ramshackle or slapdash.
Sometimes used in conjunction with some variation of the phrase "Hold my beer, I got this".
When criticized the resulting products of Appalachian Engineering are defended with the phrase, "If it looks stupid but it works then it is not stupid", although it very well might be dangerous if you aren't careful with it.

Noun:
"That is a mighty fine bit of appalachian engineering you've got there."
"She used her appalachian engineering skills and fixed that optical drive with a rubber band, and an eraser taken from a number two pencil."
