Read their rights

To respectfully or disrespectfully check a person. To put them in their place.

I just had to read their rights to these racist people

required reading

Just another bu**s**t compulsory activity (like in-depth studying of history or science or chemistry) in school dat usually just wastes your time/energy/patience and very seldom has any use in future life or employment.

I imagine that "required reading" has often significantly contributed to childhood dissatisfaction and lack of bonding among siblings, since many a youngster has had to sadly play by himself because Big Bro/Sis had to study books instead of paying attention to said toddler.

phantom reading

When you’ve read an entire book but can’t remember a single thing that it said.

In school I was phantom reading.

Read the paper

What you should do when you know regular media ( except radio and newspapers) will drive you off the rails

Don't listen to fox News or CNN, go read the paper.

Reading the Paper

A phrase used to nonchalantly tell someone that you are smoking marijuana. The phrase brings with it a large number of puns that can be quite humerus.

Friend: (Calls you on the phone) Hey man, what are you doing?

You: I'm just sitting around 'reading the paper'!

Friend: Sweet, so I guess you got the 'news'!

You: Totally got the 'news'!

empty reading

when you read because you're bored or tired or sad and even if the story is great, you don't feel anything

I was empty reading last night, and the plot was great, but i'll have to read it again so i can feel it.
