The noun form for something that side-tracks you. Similar to a distraction, it's often produced by Wikipedia, Facebook, or YouTube.
Well, I was typing my essay, when I decided to check my e-mail, and then there was a link to this funny video on YouTube... It was just a little sidetraction, that's all.

Someone who is really good at procrastination. They habitually do it, often staying up until the wee hours of the night, if they sleep at all. They never learn to do work steadily or early. Yet somehow they always get it all done! AND do it well!
Man, how does Rob do it??? He didn't start his report until midnight, didn't sleep at all, and he still gets a 98%? He's such a procrasta-masta!

n. An annoying little know-it-all who, in reality, knows little to nothing. They merely sit in class, take word-for-word notes (often in very neat or girly handwriting), and learn nothing, not allowing they're mind to wander and form its own thoughts, but to wallow in the mundane of that which has already been said. They, however, do wonderfully on class assignments, homework, and tests that require no individual thought because they delve so thoroughly into the cliché. They are so-named because they are very good a mimicing what a teacher just taught back to him via class discussion or, more commonly, essays.
Teacher: So, does anybody have any thoughts about the character Simon in The Lord of the Flies?
Parrot: I think he's a Christ-like figure because he goes off and prays and doesn't want people to fight anymore.
Teacher: Right, then, let me rephrase. Anybody with any original thoughts?
