propellerhead
Geeky computer enthusiast
A propellerhead is a person obsessively devoted to technical subjects, especially computers or engineering—the kind who might wear the novelty beanie cap with a spinning propeller on top.
The term suggests enthusiastic nerdiness without necessarily being mean-spirited: The propellerheads in IT finally got the server running.
Sometimes shortened to prophead.
