armchair engineers 

These are typically 24 year old yuppie wannabees straight out of college. It takes about 18 months to get them to the point where they can actually do something constructive for the company. Once this happens, they get a stupid title with the word "worldwide director" or something, and from this point on will not put their hands on anything tangible, like a product.

"Man, that Jeremy is an egghead. We finally get him to the point where he can walk without hand-holding and he gets a position with the armchair engineers."

Someone who applies scientific knowledge to any problem. Has a common tendency to over-complicate simple solutions, see Rube Goldberg.

Enginerd: So, if we apply the Brownian theory of molecular movement, we can determine exactly how hot your syrup is, and how hot is *NEEDS* to be can be found by applying...
Mundane: Seriously, why'd you have to get all enginerd about it? Just use a thermometer.

Gentlemen, start your engines! 

"The tradition of the pre-race singing of "Back Home Again in Indiana" goes back to 1946, the first race after the track was closed four years for World War II and the first under the ownership of Tony Hulman. The Hulman era also ushered in the tradition of one of the most famous commands in sports, "Gentlemen, start your engines."

Engineers Luck 

Generally used in IT. Whereas a caller comes on the phone saying they've already done the thing that the engineer is most likely to ask first. The engineer will ask the user to do it while on the phone and then it suddenly works.
In other words, the user has just lied their bollocks off.

Caller: Hi, i've already rebooted my pc like 3 times and my program doesn't work
Engineer: Can you reboot your pc while on the phone to me right now?
Caller: Ok *wait for a minute or two
Caller: Oh! It's working now.
Engineer: Of course it is, that's Engineers Luck. Bye now.
