Tinkerbell

A whimsical, pure and incomprehensible beauty carried with elegance by wings and pixie dust. Along with her she brings tenacity, grace, serenity and sass.

I've never seen a beauty such as Tinkerbell's.

Tinker Tech

The name attached by students to almost any community college the first 8 or 10 years it is in existence. Mainly used as a partial slam at the limited physical buildings, small teaching staffs, and what would appear to be a bunch of people "playing real college" with a set of tinker toys.

Yeh, I went to Washington State Community College in Marietta, Ohio, back when it was named Washington Technical College....but all of us called it Tinker Tech.

Thinkering

A portmanteau of "thinking" and "tinkering". Means to think about something by tinkering with objects relating to the problem under consideration. Usually unguided, exploratory and individual, often a very good way to explore aspects of difficult problems or to find solutions where none are obvious. In other words, an active form of thinking.

Akin to solving a puzzle (like a rubiks cube) by trying to solve it rather than just sitting and staring at it.

Bob is thinkering again, wonder if he'll finally figure out how to get that perpetual motion machine back together again?

tinkers

Tinkers is a term for a group of Irish Travellers who worked with tin and mended pots and pans from door to door in rural Ireland before urbanisation in the 1960's. This is a perjoritive term these days and is used to insult Irish Travellers, as gyppo is to insult Romani people (different ethnic nomads in Britain & Ireland).

Not all Irish Travellers were tinkers (from tinsmithing or tinsmith) as there were horse dealers, market traders etc.

Irish Travellers have their own distinct culture, traditions, way of life and language and are indigenious to Ireland and are said to be here in Ireland before the Celts arrived in Ireland 500 yrs BC.

"irish travellers are all tinkers"

"No, its a term, often negative"

deep thinker

A person with profound thoughts; one who thinks beyond what is obvious.

She is such a deep thinker that's why she hardly has time for mundane concerns.
