Academite 

Friendly, smart and respectful students belonging to the high schools of Glenbrook North or Glenbrook South. Academites are in a program called "The Glenbrook Academy of International Studies." These students happen to be quite awesome, and are not social rejects contrast to public opinion. SOME rules do apply to these students, although not very many. Bottom line: Academites are the coolest people you will ever meet, and probably work for.
Teacher: No, sorry, that answer is wrong.
Student: It can't be, trust me.
Teacher: I know I'm right!
Student: But you're not, I'm right. I always will be right. Why? I am an "Academite."

academic validation 

feeling achieved or appreciated when receiving praise in school. while it can be a good motivator, constantly seeking academic validation can become a problem mentally. this can lead to purposefully overworking yourself to feel that adrenaline rush that comes with good marks.
Mom: Why are your grades so bad?
Me: Because I seek academic validation to the point where if I can't do it perfectly the first time then there's no use in trying at all.

Academic Circle Jerk 

When a group’s discussion of concepts and ideas start to overwhelm the thought process that you ultimately end up just standing around stroking the other people's egos and accomplishing nothing.
We discussed rubrics, a list of criteria for grading student’s work, until we discussed ourselves into an academic circle jerk.

Young Academics On Ice

This is what "yaoi" stands for, parents! When your son/daughter mentions the word yaoi, this is what they mean.

YAOI is a nonprofit organization where underprivileged children with a high IQ learn to ice skate. A very beautiful organization, but mainly directed at teens and children.

If your son/daughter mentions YAOI and then begins to laugh, chances are they remembered a specific episode of YAOI which portrayed humor.

(For all non-parents here, you know what yaoi is. This is the definition you'll want to tell your parents - because it's right...)
Father: What are you reading?
Daughter: Uh, just some YAOI...
Father: What?
Daughter: Young Academics on Ice! It's, eh, a really funny screenplay!

My Hero Academia 

A great anime with good story and plot... but the fandom turned it into some yaoi/yuri shit when it's supposed to be a superhero movie.
Person 1: Woah My Hero Academia is so cool!
Person 2: Yeah, but the fandom is fucked up.

academic welfare 

The dumbing-down of standards at branch/regional campuses so that their lower-class students can pass and ultimately graduate.
Man, this test was hard! Where's my "academic welfare"?

The "academic welfare" situation at Miami Hamilton is necessary for their mouth-breathers.

Without that "academic welfare" at MUH, his lazy butt would have failed out long ago!
