How the BBC pronounces "a historic", because an historic is actually the correct pronounciation.

historography 

An intense report describing how history has been recorded and changed throughout the years.
usually used as a form of punishment unnessecarily.
Teachers tend to include ridiculous requirements such as:
-minimun of 100,000 pages
-no words like be, been, being, was, it, or you
-due in 2 weeks from the given date
Extreme cases of these reports include nausea, bleeding through the fingernails and elbows, unconrtollably checking the time and date, anxiety attacks, hyperactivity, red eyes, loss of sleep, inability to stop your fingers miming the typing motion, slight moaning, and sometimes even death.

*loud gasp*
*books drop to the floor*

Joe- "Where did Bob go?"

armchair historian 

Someone that clearly didn't do their research and jumps straight into historical debate. A person that parrots off "facts" they learned in their high school history class and pretends to know the thoughts, intentions and motives of historical figures. Someone who pretends to know history. These people typically think they are above everyone else intellectually just because they know a minute fact that has no application to the current conversation, as if it changes the whole picture.
Random person: "Why did Hitler lose to Stalin again?"
Armchair Historian: "Bro, like Hitler knew nothing about history. Napoleon invaded Russia and lost due to Russian winter. That means that Hitler was retarded because he invaded Russia and lost due to Russian winter."
Actual Historian: "Well that's simply not true, Germany was heavily outnumbered by the allies in WW2 and suffered constant attacks by British air on their infrastructure, making a total victory on the Eastern front nearly impossible. Not to mention Hitler didn't invade farther north than the Baltics. The Russians had even less supplies for their soldiers than the Germans did despite bombings on their infrastructure; the USSR didn't issue enough blankets or clothes for their soldiers on the front line to survive their own winter."
Armchair Historian: "B-b-but NAPOLEON! NO! NO. THAT CAN'T BE TRUE! RUSSIAN WINTER! COME ON! BELIEVE ME!!!!"

A story told by a girl to one of her friends, or published in magazines (i.e. Penthouse) or websites, relating to meaningless sexual encounters.
Girl 1: I met a guy last night at a bar. We got a hotel room and made love all night long. Later, he just kind of disappeared. What did I do wrong?

Girl 2: Sounds like another hostory to me.
