How would you describe what a Warrant Officer is and what they do to a civilian?

This isn't a joke (though this image is hilarious). I was just asked by a civilian to explain what a warrant officer is and it's not easy. Try it sometime - it's harder than you think.
How would you explain the Warrant officer ranks, roles, responsibilities to a civilian with limited understanding of the military?
How do you describe their unique skillset to civilian employers?

I see the humor but worked my tail off to dispel the views of what a WO was. WO’s can Command, re-enlist, and hold senior level staff positions. We are leaders and technical experts.
Quick story; a 1LT decided to feel frisky and question my input to the scheme of maneuver. He was quite abrupt and frankly being a dork. I reminded him that “I was doing this shit since before he was finger-painting”. CDR, XO, CSM, and the rest of the staff laughed their asses off. That LT was pretty quiet from that point forward.

It's a former NCO who didn't want to deal with Soldiers anymore, so now they just do their jobs ;o)

CW5 Andy Fisher - Why did you become a Warrant and how would you describe what warrants are to a civilian?

Let's see. They grow mustaches and can't be bothered with petty things like formations.
All kidding aside, I look at WOs as experts in their field. If I need an answer, I assume they will have it.
