Text Dissertation 

Sending multiple texts which far exceed the 160 character limit of a standard text message that often includes superfluous details; typically involves complex conversations that should take place via email or phone call.

Diane: Did you understand the point I was trying to make in my text?

Chris: You mean your last 16 texts in a row? No, Diane, because I didn't have time to read your text dissertation. Just call me.

Derp Dissertation 

Any insane rambling online wall of text cited with tons of hyperlinks to web sources of dubious credibility. Quite often ending or beginning with "I have done my research!" and sometimes with idiotic attempts to make themselves sound like a credible "expert" in something.

Dear Lord! I can't believe I read this entire Derp Dissertation on "Flat Earth Theory" by this dude on Reddit! I thought it was going to be hilarious. Turns out it was just mind numbingly stupid!

Publishing a dissertation 

An action.

Hym "Publishing a dissertation (an original theory) is an action. Did it work? Looks like it! If you like actions so much then you go take action to ensure that they don't steal that because it'll directly determine whether or not somebody is a reverse orphan."

Dissercation 

The combination of two words: dissertation and vacation. The act of struggling between being committed to work on dissertation or having a little fun in between.

Do I have to lock myself and work on my dissertation or go out for a vacation? My dissercation is totally driving me nuts.

Disserdating 

When you devote so much time to your dissertation (or related projects and research and efforts to put off writing) that you are no longer interested in romantic relationships/sex.

Guy 1: "Hey, I wonder if I should ask that hottie out?"

Guy 2: "Nah, I hear she's too busy disserdating!"
