Yeah, I tend to say "computer science" when I mean "theoretical computer science." To me there is a clear split between the stuff that's math/logic and the rest of it which I'm happy to lump under the catch-all of engineering (and don't feel comfortable labeling as any sort of science).

I'm not comfortable labeling the concepts behind operating systems, networks, computer architecture and programming languages as either math or engineering.
