pushover pickup

1. A jacked-up pickup truck or SUV just begging to be pushed over. It would be a service to all other drivers on the road to humble one of these these top-heavy, oversized Urban Assault Vehicles.

2. What happens when a very pathetic, wimpy chick allows herself to be picked up by any guy mildly interested in her. Typically the guy becomes bored or dissatisfied after a short time and a breakup ensues.

1. See that pushover pickup that's tailgating me? I can't see anyone else on the road! At least in these Santa Ana winds here in the 909 should knock his truck over before my subcompact.

2. "Did you hear about Jason and Courtney? They like, totally broke up yesterday over the phone!"

"Yeah, seriously; I knew it was just another one of these pushover pickups that always fails after a month."

plagiarism

What people who either can't write or are too lazy do whenever a paper is due. Any usage of someone else's writing as one's own is plagiarism, no matter how cleverly disguised (or not) it is.

Perhaps the most common way is to search for or download existing papers, cut and paste, change the wording superficially and scramble it a little, and turn it in as your own. Other common methods are to simply copy other students' work in one's class, changing it superficially, or to download or even buy papers online.

Any way you do it, it's a reprehensible practice that can, and should get you in big trouble. There are known cases where students have been held back a year, or even expelled. Unfortunately, plagiarism still seems to be a growing problem, and students usually get away with it.

(note: this entry written by a student)

Student: Why am I getting an A- for this paper?
Teacher: Because it matches three other students' as well as wikipedia.
Student: No way! I didn't do it!
Student: And you didn't prohibit it in the syllabus!
Teacher: sighs I ought to make you rewrite it, but-
Student: I'll sue you!

Caleian slip

An analogue to the Freudian slip that involves a physical action. This action must be indicative of a subconscious preoccupation or habit.

Fabio and Felipe were hanging out. Fabio was eating an apple when all of a sudden the core slipped from his hand and fell to the floor. Felipe thus inferred a subconscious propensity of Fabio to litter on his own floor, creating a literal Caleian slip.
Named after the first man to observe and recognize one such "slip".

fuck this shit

Expression that shows you have no vocabulary and marks you as uneducated. It shows complete laziness and stupidity to use f*** and s*** to express 90% of all statements. Learn some other words.

Fuck this shit, man! No, I'm serious, this $h!t over here is like, f***ed! This part is...."

"Dude-your engine failed because the timing belt wore out. Can't you just say that?"

take a blog

Writing a blog entry when you just really, really want to and haven't for way too long. Extremely satisfying for those who enjoy blogging.

"Whoa-why are you dumping all these pages of random musings and diaries all over xanga?"

"Oh, I'm just taking a blog. It feels really good after it's all been inside me too long."
