teaching assistant

a FOB graduate student that cannot afford graduate school, so they help teach an undergraduate college class in exchange for free tuition.

They are often very knowledgeable about the topic that they teach, but are absolutely incompetent when it comes to teaching it due to their inability to speak to speak English fluently.

Reaching

The act of doing absolutely nothing but playing Halo Reach. Usually one "Reaches" instead of doing more important things like schoolwork or important dates.
Burnie: "Hey Geoff, did you finish that render i asked you to do a few weeks ago?"

Burnie: "Amen to that. I missed my kid's fourth grade play because of my reaching."

ESL Teaching

A "job" that many grifters, low-lifes, simpletons and garden variety retards do while living abroad as an expat. Many, if not all, of those that are currently teaching ESL have failed astronomically in their home country. This includes financially owning themselves by getting one of the many useless degrees offered by today's university. An incompetence to use any job-hunting website. It also includes burning a variety of bridges with all of their friends, associates and family members. And finally, it includes a general sense of running from all responsibility due to a severe case of arrested development.

Ironically, many of their students, ESL Speakers, are trying to have a better life, work hard and take life head on.
Blue-haired coffee shop barista: I double majored in English Creative Writing with an emphasis on poetry, and general Philosophy, and I've had it. I've been working here for 6 long years. Too long, too long. Next week, I'm moving for an ESL Teaching job abroad for $800/month. It's GOOD money, and allows me to save each month to pay off my $120,000 of student debt.

Engineer, former friend: That's great.
