engineerasm 

something geeks, nerds and others with a logical, scientific or otherwise academic nature can have when experiencing things related to a favoured field that they find particularly mentally beautiful and/or satisfying.

- Did you see that documentary on jet engines last night?
- Yeah! When that slo-mo footage of the full power blade off test was on I had a little engineerasm.

When we got round that functionality problem by using a cross-scope lambda expression as a parameter of that delegate code I totally had a massive engineerasm all over the compiler.

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."

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.

Enginegasm 

noun.
A highly tuned car's engine has an enginegasm when it is revved. It's that beautiful sound you hear coming out of Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc, that causes you to eargasm.

Jake told Kat about his Porsche 911 Turbo's enginegasm yesterday. He subsequently had an eargasm. It sounded so good!
