Academic Vampire

An academic vampire is someone who forces others, via their position of authority, to produce work that they will then: 1. use with credit only to themselves and not to those who actually produced the work or 2. use to make themselves look more productive or prestigious to their chair, deans, other colleagues, etc.

That advisor is an academic vampire; she published the work her grad student and never gave the student credit. OR That supervisor had her graduate TA do all of her IRB and half of the data collection and never gave that TA any credit in the publication.

Vampire Hands

Hands that will not activate the motion sensing water faucet in a public restroom

i.e. invisible to mirrors or motion sensing devices

I can never get my hands clean at the restrooms in that Walmart - my vampire hands will not activate the water to come out of the faucet

Reverse Vampire

When a lesbian who is on her period bleeds directly into the vagina of her female partner (who is not on her period) during sex.

Last night I tried to watch the 2003 blockbuster sensation Daddy Daycare featuring the comedic genius Eddie Murphy dressed as a giant broccoli, but 16 minutes in my girlfriend paused it to give me the Reverse Vampire.
