Euphemism for
unemployed. It's a useful title to give women in clubs instead of admitting that you spend all day
playing Xbox games. Many people think software engineers make
a lot of money.
Example:
"Hi, can I buy you a drink?"
"Sure, what's
your name and what do you do?"
"I'm
George, I'm a software engineer."
"Oh, really!"

A person who is rejected by the
Engineering community, due to a
dispute over whether
software engineering is really
engineering, despite the fact that software engineers don't purely write code and actually are taught other aspects of engineering.
Example:
John (
Mech Eng): Hey Jim, what do you do for a living?
Jim: I'm a
software engineer.
John: Nerd!
Jim: Yeah? Well this nerd wrote the program for the flight computer of the aircraft you are designing, as well as the program you used to design it. Lazy ass.
John: Meehheeh fucker. *Aside* (Dude I wish I make as much as he does. All these stupid fucking problems I did and all I get for it is to be made fun of by a rather sexy man actually.)
