A computer can't function without an operating system

A total lie usually mentioned in computer textbooks when talking about operating systems. Older computers sometimes do not have an operating system, so this is totally a lie because these computers can still function. Also, even modern computers can make use of the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) to do some basic tasks such as viewing and changing the date.

School textbooks: "A computer can't function without an operating system!"
1930s computer operator: "wtf is that"

energy systems engineer

The energy systems engineer is an elusive breed of engineer. Often found scurrying around the forest grounds on the banks of the River Corrib, the energy systems engineer will not take very lightly the fact that you are tainting their environment with your carbon dioxide emitting ways. They have a weakness for white wine and tacos and can be captured using a butterfly net.

"Derek! I think I have just seen the lesser spotted energy systems engineer in it's natural habitat!"
"Jolly good, William, but what is that curious sound it is making?"
"It is difficult to hear, Derek, but it sounds like it is hashtagging Longford."
