Brer Fox plagiarism

Refers to a bombastic loudmouth's blatantly taking credit for an idea or realization that everyone else present at the time knows was thought of by someone else. It originates from the most famous of all the "Uncle Remus" tales --- Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby --- and comes from the infamous (and hilarious) dialogue between the brashly-conceited Brer Fox and the two other animals who were present at the time --- Brer Bear and Bter Rabbit --- whereby anytime a good idea is.suggested, Brer Fox boldly announces that said idea was his own: "I sure am glad that **I** thought of THAT!"
Perhaps the tar-embedded Brer Rabbit could have used another method to avoid his demise at the hands --- er, **paws** --- of his venomous-hearted crimson-canine nemesis by insisting on "postponing operations pending litigation", and then suing his savage russet-coated adversary for "Brer Fox plagiarism" when said cocky character braggingly took credit for Brer Rabbit's idea about "flinging him in da briar patch". Plus of course, once they were in court, Brer Rabbit could have also asked the judge to lock up Brer Fox (and possibly Brer Bear, as well, as a conspirator in crime) for his ongoing attempts to eliminate Brer Rabbit, and for his constant threatening and harassment of "a poor helpless harmless fluffy little bunny like me".

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the representation of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work.12 In educational contexts, there are differing definitions of plagiarism depending on the institution.3 Prominent scholars of plagiarism include Rebecca Moore Howard,4567 Susan Blum,89 Tracey Bretag,101112 and Sarah Elaine Eaton,31314 among others.

Plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions such as penalties, suspension, expulsion from school15 or work,16 substantial fines1718 and even incarceration.1920 Recently, cases of "extreme plagiarism" have been identified in academia.21 The modern concept of plagiarism as immoral and originality as an ideal emerged in Europe in the 18th century, particularly with the Romantic movement.

Generally, plagiarism is not in itself a crime, but like counterfeiting fraud can be punished in a court2223 for prejudices caused by copyright infringement,2425 violation of moral rights,26 or torts. In academia and industry, it is a serious ethical offense.2728 Plagiarism and copyright infringement overlap to a considerable extent, but they are not equivalent concepts,29 and many types of plagiarism do not constitute copyright infringement, which is defined by copyright law and may be adjudicated by courts.
