A type of pipe tobacco that is made mostly with Latakia, a Syrian tobacco with a distinct flavor and smell, and some occasionally perique, a tobacco similar to cavindish that is grown exclusively in Louisianna.
I loves me some english tobacco!

An accent which is not considered RP or Cockney.
It is somewhat in between the two and features bits of both accents in some way or another.
Cockney & Estuary: 'will' is pronounced 'wiw'
RP & Estuary: 'hate' is pronounced with the 'h' and the 't'.
Estuary English: 'Hallway' is pronounced 'Haaw-way'

"I brang some CDs" is an example of bad grammar.

the literal act of shitting onto a piece of paper, wrapping it up (like a burrito), and turning it in as an assignment. Can be used in any class but works best for english-related classes because most students write B.S. anyway.
Brian didn't want to spend a whole weekend writing an essay he was going to fail, regardless of his effort, so instead he turned in an english burrito to voice his displeasure.

The most useless class on the face of this planet if you live in an English speaking country. You basically get taught how to spell English words, how to use English grammar, and how to properly construct an English sentence.
Basically, if you live in an English speaking country, you are getting taught shit you already know. If you are an unlucky soul like me, you get assigned a DBQ (Document Based Question) where you have a stupid question like "Who Are The Outsiders", and then you have to read a background essay, answer questions, read all the documents and answer all the questions after each document. Then after THAT, you get to write a 3-4 paragraph essay on "Who Are The Outsiders". In other cases, the teacher will just make you write an essay about the most useless shit on Earth.
Sometimes, you get a vocabulary packet. Where I go to school, basically it's where you read a 9-10 paragraph essay that has 20-30 highlighted words. Then, after that, you go over all the words and their definitions. Then, you get to match the words with their definitions, match synonyms, match antonyms, and find out the central idea of the passage. Overall, their are about 65 questions on each packet. You must turn this in every week since each of these are worth 25% of your grade, and if you bring the wrong one, you are screwed.
In other words, the class sucks.
Why do I have to take English class if I already speak the goddamn language?

Along with Philosophy and Int'l Relations, English is arguably the most difficult college major in the Humanities. This is largely due to the fact that being an English major encompasses the study of several other fields, including, but not limited to philosophy, psychology, history, sociology, law, and political science. English majors read and write far more than any other major, and offen suffer from severe caffeine addiction (or worse), insomnia, and manic depression.
Despite what lobotomized Business Majors believe, English majors (like many humanities majors) seek graduate school enrollment and end up with J.D.s, M.B.A.s, L.L.M.s, or Ph.D.s. Thus, they end up in lucrative careers with sexyass women. But best of all, they actually learn how to think and generally live rewarding lives because of that.
English Major: "Dude, we're seniors! I can't believe how much I've learned over the past three years! How about you?"
Business Major: "Excel and Powerpoint."
English Major: "... and?"
Business Major: "That's it."
English Major: "... 3 years of college and that's all you know?"
Business Major: "Yup. But Ima still be rich."
English Major: "Sooo you essentially just paid over $100,000 for Excel and Powerpoint lessons, but you'll still be rich?"
Business Major: "Hellz yeah d00d."
English Major: *facepalm*
