Sidewalk Engineer

Sidewalk engineer
A pedestrian who stops and observes any large construction project out of curiosity, or entertainment. In New York City, some large construction projects even have openings or windows in the protective wooden fences to allow people to watch.
Philip always stops at construction sites to learn what is going on due to his curiosity. He's a real sidewalk engineer.

Engine Swap

To pull a internal combustion engine from its original vehicle and put another in its place.
Pulling a V6 from a sports car and putting a V8 in it instead, would be considered a engine swap

Zulu Engineering

Similar to Afro Engineering in sophistication, but worlds apart from common Ni**er Rigging, when it comes to an expectidly temporary, semi-spontaneous solution to a relatively complex mechanical problem.
WFT! The goddam drive shaft bearing just failed and he fixed it with bread twisters, band aids and KY Jelly!
Yup. That ain't just everyday Ni**er Rigging. What you've got there is some genuine Zulu Engineering.

Nevertheless, I hope we're close to home. Sumpin' smells funny.

Catalog Engineer

Someone who reads catalogs of equipment -- high performance car parts, electronics or whatever -- and suddenly thinks he knows everything. These people are easy to spot -- they spend a great deal of money "improving" their cars, stereos or whatever. What they say sounds like hyperbolic ad copy and they won't let go of their beliefs, no matter how often someone proves them wrong.
Adam: Oh great, Ed's on a rant. He bought some gadget he found in a hot rod magazine for his car and claims it's doubled the power and his fuel economy. I looked at the thing and it's junk, just like all the other "performance parts" he bought in the last month.

Eve: That's Ed, alright. A real "Catalog Engineer."

Engineering eighty

The equivalent of freshman fifteen but for engineering majors. The engineer will spend his university life doing nothing but eating, sleeping, studying, and drinking. Thus, over the term of their degree engineers will be the last ones picked for varsity sports, due to their poor exercise habits and non-existent cardio.
Eww I'm never gonna put him on our football team, engineering eighty hit him hard!

software engineer

Software Engineer is a professional that uses Software Engineering and all of its engineering principals during all phases of software development. Too bad this was only achieved once in all of recorded history.
That hacker called himself a software enginer.
That coder thinks she is a software engineer.
Those programmer wishes they were software engineers.
I am the only software engineer I know that is why we don't have a union.
