An online homework program designed to rob college students of their hard-earned money and serve as a crutch for professors too lazy to write their own homework assignments or to teach. Its purpose, beyond making millions for the publishing company, is apparently to reduce the number of engineering graduates in the United States by utterly demoralizing and destroying their confidence in an effort to force them to drop the program and/or kill themselves.
I used up all but one attempt on this stupid Mastering Engineering problem, before I realized it had switched everything to kiloOhms instead of Ohms! And then I still got it wrong! FML!

Get the Mastering the gift mug.Related Words
A demonic website used by AP Phsyics high school teachers and college professors to rape any science student. Be prepared to lose all motivation to learn about science. Usually takes 4 hours, 2 hours if you cheat and use chegg or yahoo answers. Side effects include lack of sleep, losing hair, diarrhea, loss of time, and hysteria. Developed by students and MIT, yet it somehow spread to high school and colleges of obviously less intellect. If your teacher or professor assigns this, you might as well drop the class.
Dave: “ Hey, do we have mastering physics tonight?”
Alex: “ Yea, you might as well start now because you won’t be done until 2 A.M.”
Dave: “ Ok, first I’m going to go jump off a bridge.”

Get the Mastering Physics mug.The number one cause for depression and suicide in engineering students. This program is so incompetent Satan wouldn't even use it to punish the damned because he wouldn't have the patience to input the 30 letter and number sequence to open the account. See also Mastering Chemistry, Mastering Physics, Mastering literally insert anything here. They're all equally crap.
"My professor assigned us Mastering Engineering this semester."
"That's rough buddy *ties you a noose*"

Get the Mastering Engineering mug.It is something that gets to your heads. First year physics students going into sciences may be subjected to this psychological torture. Basically, you have six chances to answer a question correct, after that... you get O. Some people develop a certain detached immunity towards it, overcoming their initial fears, picturing in their minds the day when the program will no longer be needed to judge adequate understanding of elementary physics.
<person 1> OMG i haven't done my mastering physics yet! Kill me now!!!
<person 2> shit, I forgot to do it too... why... oh why??
<person 3> don't let it get to your heads guys! Don't let it get to you...the moment it senses weakness, you're doomed!

Get the mastering physics mug.verb and/or noun: the process of demoralizing aspiring science majors by the keepers of the knowledge who devised such a tool.
Doublespeak.
Punishing students for trying to learn by making homework become a graded quiz rather than a learning tool, and consequently depriving them of time to actually learn by keeping them preoccupied with ambiguous and gramatically incorrect descriptions and questions.

I am your professor, and you will be mastering physics. Mwahahahaha!!!!
So what do you have for homework today? Mastering physics . . . FML.

Get the mastering physics mug.It's the opposite of a roast. While people in a roasting event would gather up to make fun of a single person, a buttering event has people gather up to adore, praise, and talk good about that person. Sometimes, it's extended to include everyone, so that each person has a chance to receive a variety of compliments. You can't talk bad about someone at a buttering event. The worst you can get to talking bad about someone is constructive criticism, guidence, and maybe a compliment sandwhich.
