in due course

A British version of the Spanish phrase "Mañana"; theoretically, it means "soon, very soon"; whereas in fact, everyone knows that using the phrase is passive-aggressive English code for "You will die of old age before this ever gets done."

coursework

something that doesn't really gain you any marks at all - teachers just enjoy laughing at you whilst you spend every waking hour frantically doing it, lose your sanity and then, inevitably, your hair.

solution: write copious ammounts of crap to punish the poor sod who has to mark it. mwah hah.

...I have chosen this hypothesis because it is now 3am and my brain has actually just given up, slipped out of my ear and run off with the cat.
