Egnlish major 

Derivatives: "Englsih major," ""enlish major," and the like.

n. An English major who unintentionally defies the stereotypes of the typical student in the program, typically enrolled due to a hyper fixation on a certain field of study, with disregard to, or lack of skills in other aspects of the major.

An English major may be an Egnlish major for a few examples:
1. They may enjoy reading and could read an entire piece of literature in one sitting, but may lack enough writing skills for you to question how they even got into college.
2. They have writing skills that combat the talent of Shakespeare, Austen, or Milton, but if you ask them to take the time to read just a single line of text from their work, you will give them an aneurysm as they hate reading.
3. They went into the English major as a result of being undecided but obligated to enroll in college, but somehow became the most successful and talented student in the English department.

English Major 

Along with Philosophy and Int'l Relations, English is arguably the most difficult college major in the Humanities. This is largely due to the fact that being an English major encompasses the study of several other fields, including, but not limited to philosophy, psychology, history, sociology, law, and political science. English majors read and write far more than any other major, and offen suffer from severe caffeine addiction (or worse), insomnia, and manic depression.

Despite what lobotomized Business Majors believe, English majors (like many humanities majors) seek graduate school enrollment and end up with J.D.s, M.B.A.s, L.L.M.s, or Ph.D.s. Thus, they end up in lucrative careers with sexyass women. But best of all, they actually learn how to think and generally live rewarding lives because of that.
English Major: "Dude, we're seniors! I can't believe how much I've learned over the past three years! How about you?"
Business Major: "Excel and Powerpoint."
English Major: "... and?"
Business Major: "That's it."
English Major: "... 3 years of college and that's all you know?"
Business Major: "Yup. But Ima still be rich."
English Major: "Sooo you essentially just paid over $100,000 for Excel and Powerpoint lessons, but you'll still be rich?"
Business Major: "Hellz yeah d00d."
English Major: *facepalm*

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
