Engineer

A talented individual responsible for the design and creation of all man-made objects in the known universe, as opposed to a scientist who attempts to make new discoveries about the universe. Engineers do not do much in the way of manual labour; those tasks are allocated to skilled tradesmen. Engineers are involved in the design of everything from oil tankers to staple removers.

For example, a scientist in a lab may discover a new metal with certain properties. An engineer would then take this material, incorporate it into a design, where a welder would then implement it into the machine/device.

Society depends on engineers with their lives just as much as they depend on medical professionals. It is the responsibilty of an engineer to make sure a bridge will stay up, a car will drive straight, and that planes will remain airborne.

Engineering is broken down into many streams. Mechanical engineers would be involved with things in motion, such as a car, or jackhammer. A civil engineer would design bridges and buildings, and other static structures. There are many more streams, which I will not list here.

Often, people without any engineering credentials will append the word "engineer" to their job title. This is because there is a sense of importance attached to the word. Practising engineering without proper certification can get a person sued by a lot of people very quickly.

Engineering is also a term used to describe an action that is similar in nature to engineering, albeit in a non-professional manner. An example of this would be a "social engineer," which is a person that would do something like use a friend's computer to MSN another friend, and start insulting themselves in order to see what that person will say about them.
I wonder which engineer developed the night vision for Paris Hilton's video.

Aerospace engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets.

Boy: The sanitary engineer came to my place early this week.

english horn

Member of the woodwind family. A double reed instrument. Is NOT a "big oboe". Pitched a fifth below the oboe, in F. In orchestral works, is usually used to convey "sad" emotions. Has a deeper, more mellow sound due to the rounded bell. Is not English, despite the name. It's actually French. This is from a mis-translation of its other name, "cor anglais", which means "angled horn" but can also mean "English horn".
That English horn solo made me cry.

The Little Engine That Could

An animated film from 1991 that is a retelling of the popular story of the same name, but is a lot better than many cartoons in that era. (The music, the characters have names, them in general, the storytelling/humor, etc.)
The 1991 version of The Little Engine That Could is probably the most underrated animated film I've ever seen.

enginerd

Someone who applies scientific knowledge to any problem. Has a common tendency to over-complicate simple solutions, see Rube Goldberg.
Enginerd: So, if we apply the Brownian theory of molecular movement, we can determine exactly how hot your syrup is, and how hot is *NEEDS* to be can be found by applying...
Mundane: Seriously, why'd you have to get all enginerd about it? Just use a thermometer.

English Bandit

Assholes foreigners obsessed with learning English who will accost you when you visit their country in order to show off their shitty English to their friends and improve their ability to get more "foreign friends" and satisfy their foreigner fetish to show how cool they are. (Anyone who has visited China, Japan, or Korea is generally familiar with the phenomena.)
Dude I can't believe you went to the English corner over there. Do you really think it's worth getting anal raped by English Bandits for an hour just to get some Chinese chicks' numbers?
