"Even though he’s the only one with a real Engineering degree, Jack calls himself a Pseudo-Engineer because others here in the company claim to be Software Engineers but their degrees are from everything from Political Science to Accounting."

the engineer
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems, not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you.

Meet the engineer
Hey look buddy. I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems.
A shot rings out and a bullet hole appears next to the Engineer's head
Engie: Not problems like "What is beauty?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.
Another two bullet holes appear, on the other side of the Engie's head.
Engineer: I solve practical problems.
the shot zooms out to show a level 2 sentry shooting offscreen while the Engie takes a long drink from his beer.
Heavy: AAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
Engineer: For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean Mother-Hubbard from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new behind?
A level 1 sentry turns around and shoots a sniper who was trying to creep up on the Engie from behind.
Engineer: The answer? Use a gun. And if that don't work, use more gun.
Another level 3 sentry fired a salvo of rockets, blowing up someone offscreen.
Someone, probably the scout: MY AAAARRRMMMM!!!!!
a blown-off hand lands at the Engie's feet
Engie: Like this, heavy-caliber tripod-mounted little-old-number designed by me,
Engie kicks the hand off screen as a level 1 sentry blows it apart
Engie: Built by me,
A level 1 sentry shoots offscreen
Engie: and you best hope;
The Engie's expression darkens, and he stares right at the camera
Engie: not pointed at you.

Mastering Engineering
An online homework program designed to rob college students of their hard-earned money and serve as a crutch for professors too lazy to write their own homework assignments or to teach. Its purpose, beyond making millions for the publishing company, is apparently to reduce the number of engineering graduates in the United States by utterly demoralizing and destroying their confidence in an effort to force them to drop the program and/or kill themselves.
I used up all but one attempt on this stupid Mastering Engineering problem, before I realized it had switched everything to kiloOhms instead of Ohms! And then I still got it wrong! FML!

Surf Dracula Syndrome
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.

I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
