Ghost Citing

Ghost citing is the act of attributing a statement or fact you made to another author in order to give it more academic weight. Usually done by attaching a citation that leads to a random page in a well respected academic journal in the field.

This method was developed and perfected by Canadian Rene M. Hradecky

CAUTION: Should only be used once or twice every 50 citations.

A+ paper: "The Tutsi cockroaches have collaborated with the Belgians for too long - Justice is long overdue. Cut the tall trees now, and rid Rwanda of the Tutsi imperialists yelled Hutu rights activist Jean Kambanda"

Nerd: Wtf! Where did you get that information?

Rene: Why the Journal of East African studies, of course!

Nerd: Are you ghost citing against? Don't make me call the African Institute of Human Rights again.

Mutual Ghosting

To describe when two people have hung out with each other and the next day they mutually don’t text each other back because they *know* that time they spent together was not worth ever hanging out again.
