I worked in a developing country for some years.
One of the foreign workers was not popular with management, so management applied to the UN for an "Expert" to replace him.

The UNDP advertised the position, the worker saw the ad, and applied. He was by far the most qualified and the only applicant with experience in that position, ergo won the job.

Management still had the same worker that they did not like, but he was now a UNDP 'Expert' with a lot more money and a diplomatic passport and could buy a car duty free.

He defined expert thus

X as in algebra is an unknown quantity
Spurt is a drip under pressure

So an Expert is an "Unknown drip under pressure"

Management still did not like him
