back engineer

An *ultra boss-level nerd that can unlicense, break, and optionally repurpose software (and/or hardware) that other nerds made.
The nerdness level of the product creators shall not matter to the back engineer; it is considered pwnable by the back engineer, whether the soft/hardware in question was shipped by basic low-tier/mediocre nerds, or by their superior mega-nerds and the like - the back engineer will unpack and dissect it with as least effort as required, because efficiency.

The back engineer may enjoy the following (not necessarily in that order): writing better code than u and ur dad combined, shitty memes, repurposing products, occasionally making stuff crash, caffeine, and/or gaining unfair advantage while learning new curse words from other players online.

Since we know back engineers are better programmers than most qualified nerds, they are known to ship highly stable and robust shit that will may very likely wreck other nerds' life's, turning them very dark and miserable, if those happen to attempt to back engineer the already-back-engineered shit themselves.

* ultra-boss = the very final ranking a nerd could possibly achieve in a single lifespan
- We can't go sleep now, we got some back engineering work to do.
- So what if you don't publish the source? They will just back engineer it.
- f*ck this shit imma back engineer that ass

external-combustion engine

A fluid-fuel-powered motor that is so poorly designed/maintained that its exterior actually catches fire.
One should periodically check "under the hood" for oil-leaks to reduce the chance of said power-plant's becoming an external-combustion engine.

Finger engineering

The act of designing and engineering a building or construction project on the site and making things up as you go, with no predesigned plans.
Damn, the contractor and the owner are finger engineering the fuck out of this project. I hope it doesn't bite them in the ass with the building department when they try to pull an inspection.

Engineering Physics

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.
