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.

Get the revision mug.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

Get the Revision Coma mug.A word used in My school, i doubt that any other school uses it. The word means to give someone a blowjob. Usually the teacher doesn’t know about it so peers will laugh at the teacher being annonymous about it.

Get the Revision mug.The idea that Norman "Nick" rewrites his own history if he ever wants to forget something that happened in the past and doesn't want to talk about it. He will take all the embarrassing and low points of his life and just simply forget about them. Basically, if he doesn't remember it, then it didn't happen. The crazy part is that in his mind, the said event actually didn't happen because he has this crazy ability to just wipe everything out of his mind so he genuinely thinks he's right but in reality everyone else remembers except him. If you try to press him and bring up something that he wiped out, then he will fuck you up and accuse you of projecting. If Norman "Nick" don't want it to be a part of his life, then he just gonna go ahead and forget about it, it's pretty simple.
Henry: Yo Norman "Nick" , you remember when you were talking about your future with 160 and talking about how many kids you wanted to have with her?
Norman "Nick": Dude what the actual fuck are you talking about idiot? That shit literally never happened.
*Ray Naker knows this shit happened but he gotta gaslight the situation*
Ray Naker: Yo wtf, Henry are you deadass? Norman "Nick" that shit happened?
Henry: Yes, dude does nobody else remember this? I swear this happened
Norman "Nick": Dude, you're actually a fucking idiot. Dude, it's your fucking stupid ass memory, dude, Ray, you know this dude's memory is absolute shit and he just be making shit up.
Ray Naker: Nah nah, that's 100% facts, yo Henry don't be saying shit unless you actually got proof bruh, we can't trust nothing you say when it comes to your memory.
Henry: Dude no, we just witnessed The Great Revision
