Piratician 

The original etymological root word for the modernized term = Politician.

The profession and practice of willingly engaging in relationships, behaviors, affairs and deceitful tactics for the purpose of self promotion/gain/sexual gratification through profiteering, theft, criminal enterprising and the cloaked instantiation of illicit/fraudulent activities without regard for harm, impairment and/or disability inflicted upon others.

{Background and Context}
Upon return from a research expedition in the aboriginal territory of Korkycow Australia, Dr. Chris Culvitude of Copenhagen delivered a lexicon postulate based on revelations from ancient scrolls and audio-phonic linguistic interpretations stemming from his interactions with the Hunterbiden Microcock Pygmalion Tribe. Dr. Culvitude was attempting to decode a scroll illustrating a smiling, garment rich man holding the heart of another person standing nearby, when a bitter feisty, belly scourged Pygmy pointed at the picture, clearly anunciating the word "Pirat-ician" with a heavy oriental accent. Dr. Culvitude phoned his partner Dr. Kevin Michael Damone of this revelation wherein it would serve as proof of Culvitudes conjecture on the transcontinental, English modernization and pronunciation of "Politician" which actually evolved from the Latin word "Pirata" combined with "ician", or "Piratician".
"Dr. Damone, the Pygmy chief clearly said the word "Piratician" when trying to tell me about how a once friendly tribe deceived them, took their food reserves, fingered our Matriarchs and returned with an affect of innocence as if nary an expression of remorse."

practical problems 

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.

The Megumi Partical 

The Megumi Partical is the theory in which a person (usually a male) believes becoming romantically obsessed with another person (usually a female) in an unhealthy manor will heighten his chances with her. In most cases, the female is unaware of the obsession the male has over her. The symptoms of the Megumi Partical usually include but are not limited to the following:
•Loss of sleep over thinking about her
• Writing poems and letters, then not giving them to her
•Stalking her on social media
•Learning everything you possibly can about her
•Etc.
In all recorded cases of The Megumi Partical, the male has been unsuccessful in his attempts to woo the female.
Guy 1: Dude, I can't stop thinking about *insert name here*

Guy 2: Tell her how you feel man.

Guy 1: Nah, I can't, I'll just stalk her on Facebook and write her poems and have pictures of her on my phone.

Guy 2: Dude, this is a serious case of The Megumi Partical. We need to get you help.
