revision game
The revision game is played by students in the days before a major exam, in which everyone lies about the amount of revision they have done, typically claiming to have "not opened a book".
It may be a form of psychological warfare, designed to put others off their guard by appearing to be less competitive than one really is.
An alternative theory is that the revision game is a more co-operative phenomenon, where everyone lies about how much revision they have done to boost the confidence of their peers, and their peers do the same in return.
For whatever reason, all students are compelled to play the revision game, despite a mutual understanding that it is all just a bluff.

Matt claims he's not started revising for the exam tomorrow, but I know he's just playing the revision game.
Of course I told him that I haven't opened a book either, but he won't be fooled.

Revision Coma
You've reached exam time and you definitely should have been revising up to this point so you arrive at the inevitable result of having to force yourself into a deep state of learnings. The coma is usually brought on by a deep sense of fear and usually occurs after a fortnight of procrastination.
Man, I didn't revise at all over the last two weeks off, now I've slipped into a revision coma
*On exam day* I only started revising last night, I didn't sleep at all even though I was in a revision coma

baby boomer revision disorder
a problem with baby boomers to think that everything good in the world came from them. In reality, it did not.
Modern computers? Those were invented by cracking the codes of Nazi Germany in World War... that's the Greatest/G.I. Generation.
The Internet? That was created by two men, one born in 1943 and the other in 1938, both well before the baby boom (1946-1965).
World Wide Web? Okay, yes, two British baby boomers invented it originally, BUT...
The MODERN World Wide Web and Internet, with the new end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp, Google, YouTube, Skype, etc.? Those were ALL updated and modified by Generations X and Y (AKA millennials), NOT BOOMERS!
Basically, boomers are not responsible for creating the vast majority of modern technology and society. There was much created WELL BEFORE them that allowed to add their little contribution, and there was much modifying, updating, and innovating that made modern technology work like it is today WELL AFTER them.
Next, boomers will be taking credit for ending WWII (LOL!!!), creating Facebook (ROTFL!!!), and inventing the lightbulb (LMFAOOOOOO!!).
When a Generation Xer or millennial comes up with a device to help the world adapt to global warming and the dangerously changing climate without the human population dying out, then boomers will take credit for that as well. Pathetic. Garbage in, garbage out.

Another example of baby boomer revision disorder is how they think that they were the most revolutionary, badass generation growing up, even though a quick talk with the Silent and Greatest Generation will tell you that these narcissists did absolutely nothing for civil rights or the environment and are still trying to claim all the credit for them.
