"Propeller Head" is a derogatory name for an academically focused individual that has been taken to be an endearing term for the same.

From Wikipedea:

"The term propeller head (sometimes abbreviated PropHead) also refers to a person (usually an engineer of some type) who is employed to do a technically demanding job. It appears to derive from a "head in the clouds" type stereotyping of more technically aware people (compare with geek, nerd, absent-minded professor, etc.) or possibly from the propeller beanie. The term may be meant or taken as slightly pejorative but is usually meant with some respect."

This forum seems to be intended to be for highly technical discussions about circuit design and theory of operation.
