"Engine"
"Aight dude I'll be there in a sec my dude, my mic is being retarded."
An engine is a block or piece of metal which can produce forces such as thrust, rotation or other forces. There are different types of engines: vehicle engines (such as for cars), aircraft engines, naval engines and rocket engines.
Engines mainly work by compressing a gas, such as oxygen or hydrogen, and fuel, into a highly flammable mix, then detonating it, which in turn creates two things: thrust and waste gas. The thrusting force can be used to turn a piston or can be directly ejected and power a vehicle forward.
Vehicle engines can come in different types: in-line/straight (meaning the pistons are in a single row), V-shape (where the pistons are in two rows, at roughly 30 degrees), or W-shape (where there are 4 rows in the shape of a W).
‘The Mercedes’ engine is fairly reliable’
In terms of a civilian plane engine ‘Is the engine supposed to be shooting flames?’
‘My engine is totaled.’
As a useless person, any "prompt engineer" can be instantly replaced by anyone else without any decrease in output quality.
When an engine performs better and faster than the rest of 99% of engines in the same model and make. Similar to a golden chip in semiconductors. The 1% ters.
Drag race ensues on stock category engines
Dude, is your engine modded? I smoked all these cars that you drive right now. How did you manage to beat me in a drag race?
I got the golden engine baby!
An act of spontaneous repair or fabrication of an item or system sometimes used in a humorous or self deprecating fashion.
Solving a technical issue in a temporary manor until a permanent replacement can be acquired if that is even possible.
Usually accomplished without proper engineering knowledge or training, without proper materials and components, or without proper tools for the job at hand. More often lacking all three.
A skill typically employed by individuals who can be described as 'born engineers' or as being naturally gifted with a 'head for tinkering'. These individuals likely could have done well in the STEM fields if they ever had the resources or opportunity to attend the proper schooling or purchase the proper tools and training.
Commonly used in rural environments found in and around economically depressed areas near the Appalachian Mountains in the United States.
Synonymous with the term 'Redneck Engineering', or in urban environments 'Improvisational Engineering' or 'Jury-rigging'.
The products of Appalachian Engineering are sometimes, but not necessarily always, considered ramshackle or slapdash.
Sometimes used in conjunction with some variation of the phrase "Hold my beer, I got this".
When criticized the resulting products of Appalachian Engineering are defended with the phrase, "If it looks stupid but it works then it is not stupid", although it very well might be dangerous if you aren't careful with it.
Noun:
"That is a mighty fine bit of appalachian engineering you've got there."
"She used her appalachian engineering skills and fixed that optical drive with a rubber band, and an eraser taken from a number two pencil."
When no one makes what is need to successfully make something functional
Unable to purchases proper parts so Appalachian engineering to fabric what is needed to make something work.

Wealth & Income Financial Engineer (W.I.F.E.) - The finance department of your average American household. May also be referred to as the finance committee, the accountant, or even hey bitch. Will object to large purchases without prior approval which may result in a change in sleeping arrangements.
So, I am looking at getting a new Samsung smartphone, but it's over $1000! I don't think the Wealth & Income Financial Engineer (W.I.F.E.) will sign off on that.
