Somebody who has
gone through years of
difficult and strenuous education in engineering, architecture, or a similar field only to wind up with a mindless and repetitive
job where they do one task on a computer drafting program over and over again.
See: tool.
My cousin
Curtis talked up the benefits of going into engineering, and now spends 12 hours a
day sitting at a computer using a software program to draft diagrams of screws for heavy machinery. He is a
CAD monkey.
