linguist
Someone sick to death of hearing all of the following:

So, how many languages do you speak?

You should work for the UN. They speak languages.

You mean so you can, like, invent new languages? There's a lot of money in that, you know.

I like reading the dictionary.

So, are you a cunning linguist?

Chomsky. (knowing nod)

Oh, so you know where words come from.

Wanna come work for the CIA with us?
Example:
That linguist is fucking hot.

Linguistics is the scientific study of language. Linguistics examines language through its structue and use. the fields of structure are Phonetics & Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics, and Pragmatics which deal with sounds, words, sentences, meaning, and interaction respectively. Language use is studied as it interface with other fields such as sociology, psychology, computer science, literature, anthropology, philosophy, or history.
Example:
Isn't John studying linguistics?

No, he just speaks four langauges, but Jill is a linguist.

They have extensive knowledge of the structure, terms, and modification of a language, or languages. They can reside in a variety of careers, and linguistics as a skill can be implemented within a plethora of professions.
Example:
I requested help from a well-known linguist, and they assisted me with documents and so forth.


linguistics
Linguistics is a field of study focusing on the structure of language. Completely captivating and impossibly satisfying.
Example:
A 2 year old child learns on average 9 new concepts a day. Somehow the brains of toddlers can intuit multiple abstract concepts over the course of a day. Do you remember what it was like to understand what a drain is? a lock? to sweat? to worry? to forget? glass? digestion? Linguistics explores the way people use language and its connection to the brain/cognitive development.


linguist
Can have religious connotations. In Genesis, God destroys a the Tower of Babel which man is building in order to reach the heavens. He also scatters man across the world and gives them different languages so that people cannot communicate with one another.
Describing someone as a 'linguist' suggests he is one who can unite mankind once more, and free him from oppression. Potentially, he does this through his poetic skill rather than through speaking all the world's languages.
Of course, it's used a bit more lightly than all that...
Example:
That rapper is a linguist.


cunning linguist
A clever play on words to use in place of the word wordcunnilingus/word. The first play on words being of the similar sound, one who thinks a bit more about it will realize a "cunning linguist" would be someone who is skilled at speaking, implying the mouth, thus, someone skilled with their mouth.
Example:
Hey Suzie, my friends say I am quite the cunning linguist
