plagiarism

To have sex with a Book, Article, or the Internet, and therefore reproducing its words but with your last name.
Plagiarism involves 5 key Stages:

Stage 1: John is assigned a term paper.

Stage 2: John goes to the Library.

Stage 3: John "Checks Out" a book.

Stage 4: John "Reads Between the Lines".

Stage 5: A few paper cuts later… His paper is written.

To sum it all up…

One night of fun equals a finished paper.

Parguela

El típico chaval pringado que no le quieren ni en su casa y del que la gente en general huye para que no les de la paliza. No ha hecho nada con su vida y nunca lo hará, no lo necesita, para el creerse guay es mas que suficiente, aunque el mundo se ría tanto a su cara como a sus espaldas.
¿Has visto a Collantes? Ese si que es un parguela.

Black Plague

The Rebecca Black epidemic that has infected most of today's youth.

Black's new single, "Friday", went viral 5 days after being posted on a comedian's blog. The song itself is horribly written, composed and produced. Rebecca now has millions of views on youtube and has been twittered as much as Japan's crisis of 2011.

Wikipedia claims that her video is referred to as, "a youtube laughingstock" and there is not one critic that favors the song. Bottom line: she is famous for being shit at what she does.
Boy 1: Dude, did you hear about the song Friday?
Boy 2: What, that shit song where that girl can't choose what seat to take?
Boy 1: It's all over the internet, i want to burn my eyes out!
Boy 2: yeah man, it's the Black Plague.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions like penalties, suspension, and even expulsion. Recently, cases of 'extreme plagiarism' have been identified in academia. The modern concept of plagiarism as immoral and originality as an ideal emerged in Europe in the 18th century, particularly with the Romantic movement.

Plagiarism is not in itself a crime, but can constitute copyright infringement. In academia and industry, it is a serious ethical offense. Plagiarism and copyright infringement overlap to a considerable extent, but they are not equivalent concepts, and many types of plagiarism do not constitute copyright infringement, which is defined by copyright law and may be adjudicated by courts. Plagiarism is not defined or punished by law, but rather by institutions (including professional associations, educational institutions, and commercial entities, such as publishing companies).
This definition is my own original work, and NOT plagiarism. The fact that it coincides with Wikipedia is merely a coincidence.
