Lacadric

a person who keeps checking urban dictionary and waiting their name to be defined. Even though it probably never will because of how rare their name is.
“Why does he keep checking Urban Dictionary? His name is never going to pop up.”

“I know, he’s acting like such a lacadric.”

Academic Wank

Academic Wank describes a writing method employed by students of any subject, (but especially psychology,) who may not necessarily have all the facts at their fingertips, but need to pad-out an essay with some generalised waffle in order to meet the minimum word-count requirement for the coursework set. Often used most in the early hours of the morning before a deadline, academic wank must be employed alongside content with actual intellectual merit in order to not result in a fail. Requires less research than an essay that will get you a first class degree.
"The research methods essay? yeah, I didn't use enough references really, but I typed out some academic wank and handed it in anyway."

academic crush

An intense, non-sexual attraction to a person of great knowledge, authority, or experience, such as a professor, historian, political figure, scientist, or author. Persons affected by this syndrome may respond to the target by blushing, giggling, and avoiding eye contact after meeting or during conversations, much like the response of many people when they experience a romantic crush on another person.
"Amy developed an academic crush on Professor Potts during Shakespeare 352 Winter semester. If she could have, she would have loved to listen to him talk in iambic pentameter all day. But when she tried to talk to him after class, she suddenly found she couldn't say anything intelligent at all."

academic hustler

A person who works the education system to his/her advantage in order to attain the highest achievement, usually while minimizing effort. Does not require cheating, only a keen understanding of how to succeed in academics, such as exploiting teacher biases by studying the way a teacher grades and thinks in order to tailor one's answer to his/her preferences and not necessarily to what the perceived objectively correct answer actually is.
David seems to never do any work but gets straight A's -- he's such an academic hustler.

Rebecca did all the reading, then read the paper prompt, wrote the paper and received a B+; Eva read the prompt, looked in the index of the book for keywords and read the relevant passages, wrote the paper and got an A, the latter is obviously an academic hustler.

John takes the maximum number of courses a quarter, takes the hardest classes, has a 2.7 GPA and is still unemployed; his friend, an academic hustler, took it easy but has a 3.9 and currently a six figure salary.
