Academitis 

Academitis is a condition that afflicts middle to upper class people educated to PhD level. Symptoms include: a distorted perception of self that is manifested as either arrogance or low self-esteem; fear of failure; blind ambition; self-imposed anxiety and depression with bouts of mania; mid- to high-level substance abuse. Sufferers of Academitis avoid discussing their emotions by intellectualizing them, frequently referring to books and articles written on the subject. The condition is likely to be accompanied by obsessive-compulsive behavior and thought processes.
I am not sure if I developed Academitis because of my PhD or if I am doing a PhD because I suffer from Academitis.

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!

academies of loudoun 

a magnet school in Loudoun County, Virginia that houses three sub-schools with a focus on STEM-based learning.

AOS. AET. MONROE. PRIDDY. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the PRIDDY Nation attacked. Only ERIC WILLIAMS, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER, a SNOWBENDER named WAYDE BYARD. And although his SNOWBENDING skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe WAYDE can save the world.
friend: i dropped out of the academies of loudoun
me: oh same

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
