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!!

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.

Someone who "mines" the good stuff out of the gorp on outdoor trips, leaving nothing but peanuts and raisins. In context, the term "miner" is also used as they are usually eating gorp when their behavior is noticed. Gorp stands for Good Old Raisins and Peanuts. Crap is a more modern term as it stands for Candy, Raisins And Peanuts, though this term is less well know.
