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.

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 clickbait

When dumb scientists use their "smart papers" (ie: physicists with PhDs vs real engineers who actually develop progress) and use clickbait techniques in skewing searches with academic archives with intent of creating artificial interests for monetary/career/contrarian reasons.

academic arousal

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

Academic Parkour

When you try to write an academic paper, but none of the sentences in your paragraph are cohesive. Academic parkour is recognized by the act of jumping between different conclusions without knowing where you'll end up.

"I was up all night doing academic parkour, man"
