Character Assassination

Character Assassination is the act of attempting to influence the portrayal or reputation of a particular person, causing others to develop an extremely negative perception of him/her. By its nature, it involves deliberate exaggeration or manipulation of facts to present an untrue picture of the targeted person.

Basically, it is spreading rumours and talking bad about somebody, to make people hate them.
1. I'm just another victim of Character Assassination.

2. The media and politicians are Character Assassins.
Skivise (verb); A combination of the words 'skive' (to skip school or work/play truant) and 'revise' (to study for an exam) - to skivise is to skip school or work, in order to revise/study, usually for an important exam.
1.
Boy 1: Is Alex here today?

Boy 2: No, she's skivising, she's got her exams next week.

2.
I have an exam next week, but no free time to study for it - I'll skivise.

The Romans 

The Roman Empire was very powerful, especially in AD 117, when they controlled most of Europe. The emperor was Julius Caesar. (I think there were more, but I can't be bothered to list all of them.) They were very civilised, at the time, and apparently knew how to keep order.
1. Brian - "Bloody Romans"

2. Reg - "Apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
