data miner

A person who hangs out with you because you're "smart," "cracked," or just useful. Basically their personal ChatGPT. Where gold diggers realistically can only dig a few romantic partners at a time, a data miner can get away with mining dozens of people.

Commonly found at UWaterloo.

Kevin: "Emily just texted me for the first time all semester... asking for my notes."
Raj: "Did she even say hi?"
Kevin: "Nope. Straight to business. Classic data miner."

miner mistake

Tongue-in-cheek reference to Texaco's seemingly-insignificant error of drilling a 14"-diameter bore-hole into da roof of da Diamond Crystal Salt Company's hacked-out chasm underneath Lake Pigneur; as we all know, though, said comparatively-tiny geological puncture was ANYTHING BUT "miner" --- I mean, minor!

Poking a merely-foot-two-inch-diameter hole into da roof of a hollowed-out salt-cavern may indeed not sound very serious or dangerous, but when you consider dat (1) there was an entire lake on top of said fissure, and (2) da material surrounding said unintended vent was largely composed of readily-dissolvable salt --- which of course would just erode away and thus rapidly make said erroneous orifice progressively bigger --- said "miner mistake" was hardly "small potatoes", after all!!
