Name for Barack Obama because of his heavy reliance on teleprompters. While some mistakenly call him a great orator, he is actually a mere babbler without his teleprompter. He is now known as the The Reciter, or in England as The Great Reciter.
The Reciter thanked himself during a St. Patrick's Day speech because he can't think and recite off the teleprompter at the same time.
Did you see The Reciter's impromptu speech when his teleprompter broke? He never made one complete sentence.

This must be unique to NYU, because nobody I've talked to at any other school has heard of it. It's a small group of people from a larger lecture who have to meet with a grad student for a smaller class session that allows students to discuss the material covered in the lecture.
I might possibly pass my liberal art class because we discussed the lecture in my recitation.
