tenure track paper

A scientific publication of mediocre quality published in a respectable scientific journal exclusively thanks to connections of the senior author. The connections are frequently a result of doing a PhD in a respectable lab at a respectable university under a supervision of a professor with a respectable reputation. The 'tenure track paper' doesn't really explain anything of scientific merit and usually has only one objective - to fill out one spot in a necessary publications quota of the senior author to secure the permanent Associate Professor position within the university, aka the tenure.
A: "What do you think of the paper of Long which just came out recently?"
B: "I'm wondering why he is getting paid to do this "research". Classic 'tenure track paper'...

Hidden Track

If you used to be in cassette albums era, the hidden tracks are usually started after 5 minutes late. It's more like casual non-marketing songs.

Turtle Tracks

Those unquestionable signs that a turtle has been taking a peek out the back door. Skid marks on one's undergarments as the result of turtleheading.
I pulled off me trousers and to my dismay, I found another set of turtle tracks. I can't wait until they finish renovating the third floor bathroom!
