plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as the "wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work, but the notion remains problematic with nebulous boundaries.

plagiarism

From Wikipedia: "is the practice of claiming, or implying, original authorship or incorporating material from someone else's written or creative work, in whole or in part, into ones own without adequate acknowledgment."

What I'm doing is not plagiarism because I acknowledged Wikipedia as a direct source of the information and I quoted what I took from the article. There's a world of difference.
-"You know, Family Guy wouldn't be accused of plagiarism if they just admitted to the fact that they copy The Simpsons all the time."
-"It'd still sucks ass, though."
-"I totally agree with you."

Plagiarism

using other peoples ideas as your own, that all teachers and professors teach is horribly wrong, is never acceptable in the real world/workplace, and they will fail you for it. yet when it comes time for them to give you your weekly and/or daily metric-Fuck-ton of home work its all bullshit they copied from some other teacher or book so they don't have to do shit but can still fuck your life up, contradicting themselves in the process.
"Billy you copied this answer from the internet that is plagiarism and it is unacceptable! I have no choice but to give you an f on this assignment." "but I copied those answers from the same website that you copied the questions from so I only did what you taught me to do" "too bad Billy I'm the teacher and I gut to decide how bad I want to fuck your life up and I choose to make you wish to die"

an uncalled for term meaning you kinda took what someone said somewhere and put it in your own words and then got lazy and used copy and paste. however, i guess if we were all being like stephen hall, we wouldnt have to worry about this harsh term
