Claudinegay

Claudinegaying, named after former Harvard president Claudine Gay, is defined as copying text from another source, typically without attribution. The text will typically not be critical to the main point the author is trying to express, and hence the author will argue that this does not rise to the level of plagiarism.

Whether something would be considered claudinegaying or plagiarism depends on the context.

I claudinegayed the definition of the normal distribution from our textbook, but the prof thought it was plagiarism and gave me a zero on the assignment.
