Read the New Testament

A university term being euphemistic for having a shit. Because the Gideon's free bible is generally the only reading material around that is not related to work.

"Where's Harry gone?" "Oh he's gone to read the new testament"

selective reading

When you have no intention of reading someone's bullshit. So you scan read and only pick out what is relevant to you.

JamsBeam: "I'm going to write a name with my right hand and I'll eat a chip with my left hand"
Me:"are you having a Ketos session Bro?"
JamsBeam:"How does your mind completely erase the word write and replace it with masturbating?"
Me:"it's called selective reading"

reading my email

One of several innocent-sounding responses which can be used by regular porn viewers when their parents/spouse(s) ask them what they're doing on the computer.

Mom: What're you doing?
Juan: Reading my email.
Mom: Oh cool. Can I read mine too?
Dad: Uh no honey, come back later...this is an important email. We'll be done in about an hour.

read/edit

In writing, or especially in typing, when you read over something you've already written and make modifications as you go. For example, you read "happy, joyful, optimistic" and change it to "happy, joyful, and optimistic." Read/editing is usually done in a casual situation, like a Facebook message to a friend, but can also apply to more serious situations, like your college application.

Martha was nervous about the message her text would send, so she spent a minute read/editing it.
