Vanity PhD

A doctoral degree pursued solely for the status conferred by the title of "Dr." and the lifestyle perks associated with living in a desirable location, without any genuine interest in academic achievement or contributing to a field of study. The motivation for obtaining a "vanity PhD" is entirely based on the superficial benefits of holding a doctorate (social prestige and lifestyle) rather than the pursuit of knowledge or a passion for research.

"Did you hear that Catherine got into Columbia University for a PhD in biostatistics? I was surprised considering she wasn't particularly adept at statistics in her undergrad."
"I wouldn't shower her with too much praise, it's nothing but a vanity PhD – she just wants to be known as 'Dr. Caldwell' and explicitly said she didn't want to do her PhD at Penn because 'she couldn't imagine spending her twenties in Philadelphia.'"
"Oh wow, so she's not doing a PhD out of any regard for pursuing the higher truths of academia or for the love of learning. It's all just to fluff up her ego and drink and party in New York City. A vanity PhD if I've ever seen one!"

phd from fumble university

When a guy or a girl gives you THE CLEAREST SIGNS that they are interested in you however you still mess it up.

Guy 1: "So bro this girl ive been talking to for a while asked me if she can come to my place for the night cause it's 'very late in the night' and she lives 'far away'. I said no cause I have to get home for my curfew and I called her an Uber."

Guy 2: "bro tomorrow's your graduation, you just earned a phd from fumble university."

Permanent Head Damage (PhD)

What people with a PhD's have. First you gotta go through high school... then you gotta get your shit together and get into university you study your ass off for 4 years to get Bachelors... then you say to yourself "im really having fun killing my self, I should kill my self some more" and then you get your masters after 2 more years AND then after you are almost losing sense of reality and are having a mental breakdown you push away your last few friends and family members who are trying to bring you to your senses and then you decide to go for your PhD and then after 4 years of treacherous research you officially unlock a new power up that makes you permanently fried in the head.

Person #1: yo my prof is so weird bro.... he keep murmuring to himself when he teaches and his lecture notes don't even make sense
Person #2: Ahlie!
Person #3: yea I know its cuz he has permanent head damage (PhD), he has lost sense of reality.
