data hound

A person with exceptional skill in finding information with computerized search.

A person with exception skill in searching through social networking sites to gather information about another person.

When used pejoratively, 'data hound' may refer to exceptionally obsessive people whose only interest in Facebook is forensic, or who are capable of deducing someone's entire dating history by looking at status updates.

Steve's such a data hound that it only takes him fifty-two seconds, on average, to reply to a question on Yahoo! Answers!

Holy shit, that fucking data hound figured out that I used to date Steve in college... just by looking through every photograph of every friend I've ever had on Facebook.

Datasstrophe

A shockingly frequent phenomenon in which a girl is blessed with a wonderful ass, yet is cursed with a face that can only be described as a catastrophe. A more specific version of the common 'butterface.'

Dude, that girl at the party last night. Would you?

Tough call man. Total datasstrophe.

Data Gerrymandering

Intentionally changing what the data actually show to fit a claim furthering an agenda. Anytime someone ignores, suppresses, or alters findings, results, data or statistics to fit their agenda. This could be media skewing a graph to hype fear (ex. of violent crime, drug use), politicians ignoring data needed to accurately assess a policy (ex. Lead in the water), social scientists beefing up a study's results to be published, companies claiming a product is safe (ex. Pharmaceutical clinical trials), and everyday users of Twitter who offer a "poll" to show what 'everyone' thinks.

The graph showing the increase in violent crime nationwide was obvious data gerrymandering because the statistics were only taken from the cities with populations over 1 million.

The Senator was gerrymandering data when he said that giving ex-felons the right to vote would mean all the convicted terrorists will be able to cast a ballot.

data scientist

Something like a business analyst who writes code, a hacker with social skills, or a software engineer that knows math.
Also just someone management has decided is a "data scientist".

Even though I am a data scientist, I don't think it's specific enough to describe what I do.
