What (who) is propeller head - definition
WIKIMEDIA DISAMBIGUATION PAGE
propeller head
<jargon> Used by hackers, this is synonym with {computer
geek}. Non-hackers sometimes use it to describe all techies.
Probably derives from SF fandom's tradition (originally
invented by old-time fan Ray Faraday Nelson) of propeller
beanies as fannish insignia (though nobody actually wears them
except as a joke).
