academic exaggeration

When your professor draws an extra distinction where one barely exists or none exists in an effort to prove to you their superior understanding of the material. Typically used on examples and counterexamples brought up by the class.

A: "Actually, the truth condition of 'Santa Claus is your parents' is false. 'Santa Claus' refers instead to the idea of a fat man going down a chimney and leaving gifts, and your parents don't fit those descriptors..."
B: "....gdi."

----------

B: ">_>"
C: "Whoa, Richard used academic exaggeration on you again didn't he?"

Academic Immunity

The ability to not give a crap about school, homework, or studying, disregard them near-completely, and still achieve a passing grade.

I noticed my academic immunity take a hard dive when those teacher-bitches moved me up into accelerated classes.

academic arousal

When one gets a boner or becomes horny when they get a good grade.

Bill proceeded to jack off in the bathroom after glancing at his 100 on his test. He was in the state of academic arousal.

Academy Award Performance

A sarcastic award that is given to a soccer player that fakes an injury for sporting gain.

And you have got to say that Ronaldo has given the Academy Award Performance of the year with that injury.

Academic Vampire

An academic vampire is someone who forces others, via their position of authority, to produce work that they will then: 1. use with credit only to themselves and not to those who actually produced the work or 2. use to make themselves look more productive or prestigious to their chair, deans, other colleagues, etc.

That advisor is an academic vampire; she published the work her grad student and never gave the student credit. OR That supervisor had her graduate TA do all of her IRB and half of the data collection and never gave that TA any credit in the publication.
