Definition: Expert
by Jerry Cates

Whenever anyone represents him/herself or another party to be an "expert", remember this definition (provided to me by Mr. Vincent Bellini, an electrical engineer I worked with at HRB Singer, Inc., Rome, New York, in the mid 1960's):

The word "expert" is formed from the conjunction of two roots which phonetically can be represented as "x" and "spurt". X is an unknown quantity and a "spurt" is what you get when you squeeze a drop of water. Therefore, an expert is an unknown drip under pressure.
