read only

The mode your brain goes into after drinking too much. Much like file protections on a PC. A sub-state of Read/Write mode, which people normally operate in.

I really did that? I must have gone read only pretty early after those lemon drop shots.

Active Reading

Extensively highlighting and writing all over a packet or book. Typically mandated by high school teachers. Commonly used as torture by teachers at the Cleveland High School CORE program in order to ensure the diminished social lives of their students. Never checked by teachers but required. Easy to copy from another student. BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS!

Student A: Hey man did you do your active reading?

Student B: No man, fuck that shit. i dont want to highlight anymore!

Teacher: Ok students now im collecting your active reading. Pass it up

Student B: DAMN IT!

Student A: Quick just highlight Anything

2 weeks later. student recieves paper back

Student B's paper: 10/10
