Get the Ghetto Engineering Tactics mug.Someone who takes the view that if its broken it should be fixed, if its not broken it needs to be taken apart to find out why, theoretically to make future designs not be broken, really to break it so they can fix it.
In general have advanced math and science skills, engineers solve practical problems and design things, not to be confused with scientists, who discover things, or workmen who make things.
The scientist discovers a new material and its properties, the engineer uses this to design a new building, the workman makes the building.
Often engineers have trouble socializing, this is because they speak and think in numbers, and have tendency to "mental multi-task" i.e. Halfway through a conversation they will devote half their brain to designing a better sort of person to talk to.
Whatever it says, if it doesn't have a degree, its not an engineer, its something that wants to feel important.

Get the engimanerd mug.the literal act of shitting onto a piece of paper, wrapping it up (like a burrito), and turning it in as an assignment. Can be used in any class but works best for english-related classes because most students write B.S. anyway.
Brian didn't want to spend a whole weekend writing an essay he was going to fail, regardless of his effort, so instead he turned in an english burrito to voice his displeasure.

Get the english burrito mug.The most useless class on the face of this planet if you live in an English speaking country. You basically get taught how to spell English words, how to use English grammar, and how to properly construct an English sentence.
Basically, if you live in an English speaking country, you are getting taught shit you already know. If you are an unlucky soul like me, you get assigned a DBQ (Document Based Question) where you have a stupid question like "Who Are The Outsiders", and then you have to read a background essay, answer questions, read all the documents and answer all the questions after each document. Then after THAT, you get to write a 3-4 paragraph essay on "Who Are The Outsiders". In other cases, the teacher will just make you write an essay about the most useless shit on Earth.
Sometimes, you get a vocabulary packet. Where I go to school, basically it's where you read a 9-10 paragraph essay that has 20-30 highlighted words. Then, after that, you go over all the words and their definitions. Then, you get to match the words with their definitions, match synonyms, match antonyms, and find out the central idea of the passage. Overall, their are about 65 questions on each packet. You must turn this in every week since each of these are worth 25% of your grade, and if you bring the wrong one, you are screwed.
In other words, the class sucks.
