Chaining

A verb describing the action of a group of engineers sitting in a row, the first student actively completing an assignment, acting as the "base link", while the others copy one by one, from the student immediately to their left.

The base link is rotated from class to class, thus the responsibility is shared.
The activity not only builds trust and facilitates bonding within the chain group, but maximizes laziness and opens free time for drinking related activities.

Teaching assistants rarely catch on during marking, as each assignment is slightly different, similar to the changing whispered message in the children's game of telephone.

Occasionally, the later students in the chain will receive a better grade than the earlier students, or even the base link of the chain, a phenomenon yet to be fully understood.
Engineer 1: "Wow, that concrete assignment was so terrible, how did you solve question 4?"
Engineer 2: "I don't know, we chained it"
Engineer 1: "You are only hurting yourself by chaining..."

daisy chaining

When large numbers of people engage in oral sex in alternating face up/face down positions forming a circular group of people. An individual engaged in daisy chaining will be giving oral sex to one person while receiving oral pleasure from a different person (at the same time). Probably referring to a ring of intertwined bosies having a similar shape and arrangement to a flower arrangement used as a tiara.
"We had, like, 20 people in our daisy chain last night."
