To over-engineering an explanation when a simple explanation would suffice. Usually with good intentions but has the effect of utterly confusing the recipient or boring them to tears.
Question from mom: What was the problem with the Roku?
Engineersplain: I needed to edit iptables to forward external TDP ports 80 and 443 to the Roku. I also needed to forward UDP port 53. Once that was done I restarted iptables and IP traffic was able ingress/egress from the Roku to the Internet and vice versa.

Get the engineersplain mug.Someone in your engineering class who you mean a lot to and share many memories with. They really miss you when you are gone and don't know what to do without you. They can't wait until the next time they get to see you.
She is my favorite engineering-buddy.

Get the engineer mug.Engineering physics refers to the study of the combined disciplines of physics, mathematics and engineering. By focusing on the scientific method as a rigorous basis, it seeks ways to apply, design, and develop new solutions in engineering. - Wikipedia
Person 1: What's your major?
Person 2: Engineering Physics.
Person 1: What's that? Sound like a lot of hard math and physics.
Person 2: Yes and no, it's difficult to explain.

Get the Engineering Physics mug.This is an often small refrigerator, on campus, typically located in a semi-dorm, open-dorm or pressure-turbine-energy system lab where college students working together or individually on projects and just chilling keep their nice lunches, drinks, snacks and confectionaries. It's pretty common for them to just leave them there for the next person. Sometimes they do it as a nice gesture or gift. Typically, if something's been in there for atleast 3 to 4 days and no one has picked it up, it's yours. Mainly, though, I'd like to introduce the college tradition. If someone leaves something there and doesn't really come back to get it, it belongs to the next hardworking engineer who comes across it on their spare in or out of class time.
Lay student: You look like you're up to a lot.
Hardworking expert engineer (college guy chilling and exploring after getting shit done): Yeah. It's been pretty hectic, especially inside that Energy Systems Lab. I'd better give that Engineer's Refrigerator a peep.
