A person who is carrying so much electronic equipment that if it was within their body cavity, then they would be considered a cyborg. Most often they are carrying more electronics than they'd ever need, and a significant percentage is actually redundant.
For example, a teenager with an IPOD, TI-83 calculator, wrist watch, laptop computer, and a laser pointer. Therefore, this teenager is considered an External Cyborg.
For example, if you have so many electronics on hand that being pushed into a pool of water would drown you, and not because you can't swim. This is of course assuming all of the electronics were off when you were pushed into said pool of water. Only an External Cyborg would carry that many electronics.

External balances are critical to good economic policies.

Someone appointed from another institution by a university to question every little, trivial detail of an assessment or graded paper in order to justify their own hefty stipend, make lecturers' lives annoyingly miserable (thus reminding them they are still only employees) and to feign the appearance of academic quality.
Elvira: Leo the external examiner has returned your examination for review because some of the questions require commas to be added. Make sure you do this before you leave the office at 2.30pm today.
Chuck: If all Leo has to do for his money is correct my grammar, then I'd be grateful if you'd ask him to stick that examination paper up his fat arse.

Internal deficits are sometimes blamed for external deficits, especially if both are chronic.
