historiography

The study of historians throwing shade upon one another's historical theories. Most often the practice involves debating the definition of words in such meticulous detail as to render the historian friendless. The practice is the most commonly cited reason for historian on historian violence.

Matt Fitzpatrick: How did the student die?
Officer: He lost the will to live after studying historiography for more then one semester.

Historical Investigation

The worse possible project an IB student can be assigned. This enormously long and difficult project must be completed as part of the IB Topics of the 20th Century history course, or else you fail. It involves answering a specific research question of interest (well, really, who gives a fuck?) and poring through books and journal articles on the subject, therefore wasting an enormous part of the time you DON'T have as an IB student.

I hate the historical investigation. It shouldn't have the FIVE parts it contains, but rather be a single paper in which we are allowed to write more than 2000 words--if we need to

Quora Historian

A person who thinks they know more than they really do about everything and will give their opinions in a condescending manner as if they could never be wrong. To the average or ill-informed questioner, this person will have lots to say and will seem knowledgeable enough, but people who really know them understand that this person is a phony. Any real expert or accomplished person would make the Quora Historian look like a child, which is what the Quora Historian fears most.

All of these Quora Historians are running around talking about the best running shoes and wind resistant headbands for a 5k, but I don't think a single one of them has broken 20 minutes.

Historage

Heritage and history joined together a bit like chillaxing! We've used this word when talking about the titanic centenary - as part of the historage of belfast northern ireland.

It's part of our historage :)
