The Scientist 

A song by British band Coldplay about love lost; features lead singer Chris Martin playing the piano. "The Scientist" is off their album "A Rush of Blood to the Head", released in 2002.

Coldplay's "The Scientist" is my favorite song to date.

Australian rocket scientist 

A manual laborer, expecially one involved in digging, excavation. So called because the Australians are known as "diggers" and regarded as being rather dense.

He was digging a ditch, a regular Australian rocket scientist!

Rocket Scientist 

Sarcastic term of praise handed to someone who deducts the obvious and makes sure as many people as possible recognise that they have pointed out the obvious, in an attempt to sound intelligent.

Hey, that car's on fire!

Oh look at the fucking rocket scientist, as if we didn't notice the huge flames, the explosion that we heard so decided to run here etc. Idiot.

armchair scientist 

Someone who has no professional training in science yet has the same augmented ego and clout (and on occasion, the same amount of knowledge on the subject).

Your subconscious is actually the excrement of an opalescent Monodon monoceros. I know. I'm an armchair scientist.

data scientist 

Something like a business analyst who writes code, a hacker with social skills, or a software engineer that knows math.
Also just someone management has decided is a "data scientist".

Even though I am a data scientist, I don't think it's specific enough to describe what I do.

Scientist

A person who is able to use the words "horrifying" and "fascinating" in the same sentence, unironically.

As a scientist, I find the mindset behind *insert cultural atrocity* both horrifying and fascinating and I want to study it.
