Reverse plagiarism

Citing someone else for an idea that you came up with, if only to make it sound like a legitimate idea. This is the opposite principle to normal plagiarism, which involves portraying someone else's idea as your own. Neither is recommended.

Lazy student: Hmm. I think tax cuts for the wealthy were a bad idea. But where can I find support for that?

*gasp*
Student's work:

"Albert Einstein stated that President Bush should not have cut taxes for the wealthy. 'The actions of Herr Bush led to unsustainable budget deficits,' he wrote. Martin Luther King agreed, saying to thousands on the Mall, 'I have a dream . . . that President Bush's tax cuts will be revoked by a Democratic Congress.'"

Professor (reading essay): ????? I haven't seen students use reverse plagiarism for 34 years!

reversable clip

Made by either taping or super gluing two hangun magazines together so that once one is empty it can be dropped out and flipped over for quick reloading.

My set was planning to go to war so I made sure I had my reversable clips in case I ended up in a shootout.

Reverse Homo

A different way of saying reverse gay.

Also the nickname of Weezer frontman, Rivers Cuomo

It was not until the day Rivers Cuomo graduated from High School that his classmates realised that " Rivers Cuomo" could be made to rhyme with "Reverse Homo" - an oversight which Noam Chomsky has called the "greatest missed opportunity in history".

reverse hump

You hump, he/she/it antihumps in the opposide direction, resulting in a net loss of humpage.

Reverse humping: "I just picture you running around with your hips thrust forward, shooting a railing around like when you put opposing magnets next to eachother."
