During the last week one of my supervisors kept referring to biologists as "Bunny-huggers" and physicist as "Socks and Sandals". This made me curious as to what those in those fields might nickname one another and also Chemists.
Do you know any field dependent slurs? Do mathematicians and engineers have terms like these?
Christopher Taylor
yes, faggot
Landon Diaz
yea we call mathematicians virgins and engineers gay, But those arnt slurs.
Thomas Taylor
>physicist as "Socks and Sandals" One of my Physics professors wore socks and sandals (like OP pic) and we called him "BirkenSox". He was smart AF and a good Prof.
Joshua Cox
why the blomobloblia?
Parker Roberts
Physics is objectively the most Veeky Forums field. I don't hear nicknames much but every physics professor seems to delight in the idea of pissing mathematicians off whenever possible. Any time they do something a mathematician wouldn't find rigorous enough, like using d/dt algebraically instead of as an operator, they get those old man snickers.
had a Physics prof (Electrodynamics, I think) who was a horrible alcoholic. University finally forced him into rehab, he quit drinking, and died a few months after. Of course we all blamed his death on low Blood Alcohol Content (BAC).
Dominic Barnes
As a physicist I think it is sufficient to divide the non-physicists, to first order at least, into plebs and mathematicians

We prefer the term "ban-capable" you bigot.

There's an engineering building at the Uni of Nottingham called the ESLC. Colloquially known as the Early Learning Centre by everyone else. (Early Learning Centre (ELC) is a kids toy shop chain in the UK)

Fuck, I hope I don't get volume integrated, I like my boundaries approaching zero thank you.

I got called a cancer monkey by a physicist once. I'm a chemist. Pretty accurate desu
Oliver Foster
I don't think I hug bunnies. I grow tuberculosis on their paw pads. It's usually done with mice or rats, but bunnies are a nice idea. Thanks, OP!

a bunnyhug is what we call a hoodie in saskatchewan
i find this very ignorant and offensive
Aaron Bell
You are not a physicist you insane bastard.
Daniel Gomez
Hope you fried and ate it after. Bunny tendies are my favourite
Nathan Ortiz
My friends and I doing a maths degree refer to the engineering building as the pi = 3 building. Sorta similar
