grade inflation

(n.) What goes on at Harvard. See Harvard.

A Harvard University report last spring complained of grade inflation that makes it easier to get high grades. Now the academic dean, Susan Pedersen, has released data showing that 49 percent of undergraduate grades were A's in 2001, up considerably from 23 percent in 1986.

Education Inflation

When a job, which ten years ago only required a high school education, now requires a bachelor's degree or higher. Other jobs, once requiring only a bachelor's degree, now require a master's degree.

You would think with my job experience that I could get a job as a sales representative at that crappy store. However, due to education inflation, I must now have a bachelor's degree.

infinition

infinition (definition + infinitity) Ð an infinite process of defining something that cannot be fully or precisely defined; an endless list of possible definitions.

Certain fluid concepts in their emergent state are subject to in-finition--infinite dispersal of their meaning--rather than to definition. To infine is to suggest the infinity of possible definitions of a certain term or concept and therefore to problematize its meaning and the possibility or the benefit of defining it. If definition circumscribes a specific conceptual area, then infinition releases the concept from restricting demarcations and places it in an indeterminate zone. For example, Jacques Derrida never defines his method of deconstruction but only infines it in numerous passages. Infinition is for the humanities what for mathematics is a transcendental number with its "infinite decimal expansion" expressed by a non-periodic decimal fraction: an endless approximation to and escape from a discrete definition.

inflationship

The added committment that goes along with the length and intensity of a relationship.

First he left his toothbrush at my place, now he wants me to call him rather than texting. It looks like I'm in an inflationship :)
