academic exaggeration

When your professor draws an extra distinction where one barely exists or none exists in an effort to prove to you their superior understanding of the material. Typically used on examples and counterexamples brought up by the class.

A: "Actually, the truth condition of 'Santa Claus is your parents' is false. 'Santa Claus' refers instead to the idea of a fat man going down a chimney and leaving gifts, and your parents don't fit those descriptors..."
B: "....gdi."

----------

B: ">_>"
C: "Whoa, Richard used academic exaggeration on you again didn't he?"

academic arousal

When one gets a boner or becomes horny when they get a good grade.

Bill proceeded to jack off in the bathroom after glancing at his 100 on his test. He was in the state of academic arousal.

academic language

The level of oral, written, auditory, and visual language proficiency required to learn effectively in schools and academic programs.

The language used in classroom lessons, books, tests, and assignments, and it’s the language that students are expected to learn and achieve fluency in.
Frequently contrasted with “conversational” or “social” language, academic language includes a variety of formal-language skills.
Academic Language can be seen as an economic and racial barrier to achieving the grades necessary to gain higher education. Academic language is often code for "white language" or the language used by the dominant racial and economic class in society.

When I wrote my thesis statement in the first person and explained why I felt the topic was important, my teacher told me that I was writing to casually and needed to use academic language in my paper.

Academic Vampire

An academic vampire is someone who forces others, via their position of authority, to produce work that they will then: 1. use with credit only to themselves and not to those who actually produced the work or 2. use to make themselves look more productive or prestigious to their chair, deans, other colleagues, etc.

That advisor is an academic vampire; she published the work her grad student and never gave the student credit. OR That supervisor had her graduate TA do all of her IRB and half of the data collection and never gave that TA any credit in the publication.

Academic Immunity

The ability to not give a crap about school, homework, or studying, disregard them near-completely, and still achieve a passing grade.

I noticed my academic immunity take a hard dive when those teacher-bitches moved me up into accelerated classes.
