When a person, in an attempt to get someone's contact info without directly asking them, asks another person for their help in reviewing an essay they wrote. The person asking will offer two options between printing it and giving it to them, or getting the other person's contact info and sending it to them.
Almost always results in an advantage for the person asking, as they cant lose anything if the other person is nice enough to review their essay for them, creating a foothold for the asker to get more involved.
Usually used by people who are in fear of rejection, and by asking for them to review a paper they feel that they can avoid a direct rejection and still participate in someone's life if they opt to just take the printed essay.
Ironically, even if they got someone's contact info through this, how would the person who receives the essay edit it without printing it out?
Person 1: "Hey, I wrote this essay for English class and I don't feel like showing it to the professor, can you look over it for me?"
Person 2: "Sure why not."
Person 1: "Perfect, I can either print it out for you and give it to you tomorrow, or send it to you tonight but I'd need your contact info for that."
Person 2: "Just print it and I'll look over it then."
Person 1: "Alright, thanks" (cries on the inside)
Or:
Person 1: "I just used the Essay Gambit and was able to get her contact info."
Person 2: "Why not just ask her normally?"
Person 1: "Cause I'm a pussy lmao"

A paper that an IB student has 2 years to write, assigned by a useless class called TOK or theory of knowledge. It has a 4000 word limit and can be written on anything the student likes. After a year of stressing about CAS hours, the TOK essay, IB orals, and endless work, the student relizes the paper is due the next day and must bullsh** his way through a 4000 word paper that is not in the subject (such as psychology, Biology etc)they chose. The paper is usually submitted to turnitin.com and is 99% copied because of the numerous incidences of plagerism found in the paper. This paper MUST be accepted by IB or you will NOT recieve the diploma and you wasted 2 years of your life and gave up your soul and have become a living zombie and will eventually become a crackwhore.

Occuring usually in a contraversial subject in Urbandictionary (eg Palestine, Emo etc.). After a few pages with entries such as "its gay" and "no it ISNT gay", someone who takes his urbandictionary shit seriously comes up and writes a huge-ass essay on the issue. Except noone really gives a fuck, so any readers read the first sentence, thumb up/down and read on.

A paper which cites one or two sources at most, not pretending to do anything more than condense the work of another author and put entirely unoriginal thoughts forward. Hence the list of citations is almost entirely "Ibid., Ibid., Ibid., Ibid..."
e.g.
1 Mowinckel, S. p. 3
2 Ibid. p.3
3 Ibid. p.3
4 Ibid. p.4
5 Ibid. p.3
