Ologist: Latin for one who studies

The meteorologist is allowed to be wrong, but if I'm wrong 73% of the time I get fired.

Nicastro Methodology Consideration

* The Nicastro Methodology (named for a small town in the province of Catanzaro, in the Calabria region of southern Italy) is the methodology whereby one does not read any of the descriptions/instructions in the email itself, but forges right ahead into whatever action is required (in this case going to the link). It is usually followed by follow-up texts to the author asking 3 to 4 questions - all of which are answered in the original e-mail. Consideration is given to this methodology by acknowledging that it is going to happen anyway and posting the link first and foremost in the email. The virtue of reading this far is indicative that you do not subscribe to this methodology.

I used the Nicastro Methodology Consideration and put the link right in the first line of my email.

Meteorologist

(n.) a sensationalist in scientist's clothing with a propensity for being incorrect while looking good on camera.

See also: snake oil salesman.

The meteorologist on television told me to prepare for the storm of the century, so like a dutiful follower I stocked up on foodstuffs and necessities. Alas, it was just a thunderstorm.

Damn, meteorologists seem to have less scientific backing than fortune tellers! I cannot believe I cancelled my weekend plans because of their forecast!

Meteorologist

A person who gets paid to guess what the weather will be on a daily and weekly basis.

It's raining, but the meteorologist said it would be sunny and 75 for the fourth day in a row.

An idiot who thinks that everyone else doesn't already know that it's pouring outside. We all have at least seven of these self-proclaimed storm chasers in our Friends List.

Armchair Meteorologist

A person who does not have any background in meteorology but still says certain things are going to happen, normally from the comfort of home with an installed radar on their PC or phone and never uses actual weather models to make predictions.

Jeff keeps saying the storm will die out before it hits us, he's really being an armchair meteorologist.
