Surveyor 

1.A god like person that is infinitely more cunning than an engineer but unlike engineers actually have devoloped the socal skills of an 'A' list celib.

2.A typical Surveyor uses all manner of cool robotic instruments, laser scanners, eletronic measuring devices, high end computer programs and a beat up old 4WD.

3. A Typical Surveyor is better than a 'mans best friend' makes females go weak at the knees and wet at the crotch just by being in their presence and still has time to go to the pub after work.

4. Famous Surveyors in history are GOD, McGuyver, Mr T, Chuck Norris, The Loch Ness Monster, Einstein, JFK, Malcom X, Snoopy, James Bond, all Ninjas, Mr Miyagi, Thomas Eddison, The Hoff.

5. The average surveyor is able to bring the real world into the office of the timid cartographer by all manner of observations and exact measurements and can easily take the rambling designs of a fat-arsed but exciteable engineer and put them into the real world (or not, if they are complete shit).

6. The Surveyor is often the target for the jealousy of others due to feelings of inadequacy (usually in the pants). Due to this Surveyors will often work in teams, where each will watch the other's back like a highly trained quasi-military unit. In this case the term "Team Survey" can be applied.
The Surveyors surveyed that (whatever object you want) and made a 3D digital image of it. Thanks Survey!!

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
