VDict - Definition of propeller head

Computing (FOLDOC) dictionary

propeller head

jargon Used by hackers, this is synonym with computergeek. 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).
