Citing someone else for an idea that you came up with, if only to make it sound like a legitimate idea. This is the opposite principle to normal plagiarism, which involves portraying someone else's idea as your own. Neither is recommended.
Lazy student: Hmm. I think tax cuts for the wealthy were a bad idea. But where can I find support for that?
*gasp*
Student's work:
"Albert Einstein stated that President Bush should not have cut taxes for the wealthy. 'The actions of Herr Bush led to unsustainable budget deficits,' he wrote. Martin Luther King agreed, saying to thousands on the Mall, 'I have a dream . . . that President Bush's tax cuts will be revoked by a Democratic Congress.'"
Professor (reading essay): ????? I haven't seen students use reverse plagiarism for 34 years!

Get the Reverse plagiarism mug.The act of splicing a single frame from Disney movies into hardcore pornography. This is derived from a scene in the movie Fight Club in which the character, Tyler Durden, justifies defends job as a projectionist "because it affords him other interesting opportunities": splicing single frames of porn into family films.
I just saw a flash of Mickey Mouse right before Tori Black squirted. The guy editing this porn definitely pulled a reverse Durden.
