Academic Tantrum

The urge to respond to something completely wrong with a 500 word referenced essay.

Annoying sign: The government hit you with a 25% tax increase on your cigarettes. How much more can they take from you?

*pulls out health references and starts to write response, ignoring half finished study, then gets all passive aggressive and makes a post on Urban Dictionary."

academic zone

When someone you're talking to doesn't want to be friends, just academic acquaintances. This is a downgrade from the friendzone.

Person 2: No, she said she'd rather just do homework with me instead.
Person 2 is in the academic zone.

academized
