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 B: No, I don't think anybody did. Nobody even bothered to do sparknotes.

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.

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.

A more selective, cheaper, smaller, more intellectually stimulating subunit of an otherwise less selective university. Most public universities have one of these, and most of them are pretty difficult to get into; 1300+ sat, top of high school class, etc.
