Systematicool: /sys-tem-a-ti-cool/ Each year geeks from all over the country make their pilgrimage t0 Star Trek conventions to pay homage to Mr. Spock - the loveable Vulcan who epitomized geekchic. He is an icon because he was always so systematicool, methodicool and analyticool. When the Klingons attacked and the rest of the starship freaked out, he stayed in control at all times and eventually saved all their hides by logic. Etymology: systematic + cool Created by: mrskellyscl.
Crisystematic: /cry-sis-tim-at-tick/ Being a trauma physician with OCD, Dr. Bank was very crisystematic; he would literally pull a flow chart out of his lab coat for each and every code blue that he worked on.

Modusopergandhi: /mode us op er gan dee/ No matter what crisis happened at work or at home, Randy was a real modusopergandhi. He planned every detail, faithfully crossed achieved tasks off his to-do list and never allowed another's failure to plan to constitute an emergency on his part. He was the safety officer and very concientious about prevention and procedure. It then came as a great surprise to everyone, including him, when his girlfriend became unexpectedly pregnant. But then these things can happen when you are Randy...
