Honors English

A course in which supposed honors- worthy students are placed in, when in reality half the students are just "good kids." An overwhelming amount of reading is assigned, followed by a lot of essay-writing. It doesn't matter whether the students read the books, or used sparknotes to finish the reading assignments. All that matters is that it can be stated that the students read "x" amount of books during the school year.

Honors Student A: Yo, you did the homework for English?!
Honors Student B: No, I don't think anybody did. Nobody even bothered to do sparknotes.

Honors student

a student in school who apparently can't be inattentive, get good grades, and stay in honors level classes

On the contrary to what many may believe, I know several honors students who procrastinate, don't take notes, don't listen to what the teacher is teaching, and they still get the grades to stay in honors classes. I guess Mrs. Sullivan was wrong.

Man of Honor

An honorable man; a gentleman.

A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.

Honor Student

Often used in news reports to describe a career criminal who has gone to prison or died from gang violence or the police to make them seem more worthy of empathy.

Jamal was an honor student just turning his life around when he was killed last night while trespassing in his neighbor's house.
