Busy work is when a teacher is so behind in their lesson plans and needs to put grades so they give their students random ass assignments and say it will “prepare them for college
“Hey Jamie what homework did you give your students over break”
“Well twin, I gave them busy work because I missed two weeks of school and I’m so behind! I’m also just a bitch”

Buswork is an art. The art of rushing your homework on the bus to school; either because you forgot to do it at home or just couldn't be bothered.

Buswork is a tricky task to undertake and people who can pull it off deserve a lot of respect.

Some of the possible obstacles are:-
Cramped conditions,
Trying not to let the school grass see you,
Trying not to let the school bully stop you,
Being tired on the bus,
Trying to keep your handwriting to a decent level whilst being rocked all over the fucking bus.
The most difficult part of all to master is remembering not to miss your stop.

This list is not exhaustive.

Because of the many obstructions to deal with buswork very rarely results in a high grading, with F to D being the usual outcome. Anyone who scores above this is either a genius…Or the teachers pet and wouldn’t need to do any buswork because they wouldn’t get in trouble anyway, the teacher loves them.
Example 1
Timmy-I was playing Halo last night and totally forgot about my English essay. I had to do some buswork on the way to school.

Example 2
Timmy-Fuck my homework I'm playing Halo...I'll just do buswork tomorrow.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
