Buswork 

Buswork is an art. The art of rushing your homework on the bus to school; either because you forgot to do it at home or just couldn't be bothered.

Buswork is a tricky task to undertake and people who can pull it off deserve a lot of respect.

Some of the possible obstacles are:-
Cramped conditions,
Trying not to let the school grass see you,
Trying not to let the school bully stop you,
Being tired on the bus,
Trying to keep your handwriting to a decent level whilst being rocked all over the fucking bus.
The most difficult part of all to master is remembering not to miss your stop.

This list is not exhaustive.

Because of the many obstructions to deal with buswork very rarely results in a high grading, with F to D being the usual outcome. Anyone who scores above this is either a genius…Or the teachers pet and wouldn’t need to do any buswork because they wouldn’t get in trouble anyway, the teacher loves them.

Example 1
Timmy-I was playing Halo last night and totally forgot about my English essay. I had to do some buswork on the way to school.

Example 2
Timmy-Fuck my homework I'm playing Halo...I'll just do buswork tomorrow.

busywork

Plausibly worthwhile, but ultimately low-value work. Given to you when your boss needs to keep you occupied in order to misdirect you to the fact you're being side-lined.

Boss A: "Why did you ask John to rename all the variables in our acme application?"
Boss B: "Because I've just asked his colleague Bob to give the big demo to the c-suite on Friday, and need to keep him occupied with busywork rather than bitter and jealous."
