personal chaos injection engine

That thing or person in your life that appears to exist simply to make your continued existence more difficult. This can be a friend, family member, colleague, pet, or just your hoopty that makes your life difficult. This is differentiated from a simple issue in that it can't easily be eliminated without substantial cost and rather than passively irritating you the PCIE appears to thrive on creating more trouble.

My personal chaos injection engine decided the set all my clothes on fire last night because I deleted "The Bold Type" from the DVR.

Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration

"If you leave your vehicle's engine running during a delay in proceeding (traffic-jam, road construction, accident-resolution, "stuck" red signal-light, etc.), you will be sitting there for many minutes, just wasting gas. The instant you turn the key off and climb out of your seat to stretch, however, THAT'S when the line of traffic will begin moving again, and thus you will have shut off your engine "for nothing", AND you will now be holding up everyone behind you while you hastily hop back into the driver's seat and re-start the engine so that you can move forward again."

I finally took da plunge and bought a second-hand Toyota Prius because I'd eventually had one too many cases of Murphy's Law of Engine-Idling Duration... the Prius automatically shuts down its power during stand-stills, and then uses its electric motor to provide instant mobility as soon as you're ready to go again.

How-To Engineer

It describes the new generation of youth that can't endure the drudge work different engineering disciplines require to master and adopt a way of googling and copy/pasting their way to saying I'm good at something

(person A starts coding two days ago)
A: I managed to make a calculator software with python, I should totally apply for a software engineering job
B: You're not a software engineer buddy, you're a How-To Engineer

external-combustion engine

A fluid-fuel-powered motor that is so poorly designed/maintained that its exterior actually catches fire.

One should periodically check "under the hood" for oil-leaks to reduce the chance of said power-plant's becoming an external-combustion engine.
