Machine Learning 

1. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm that proposes solutions to a problem after learning from several trial and error attempts.
2. A term that students use at hackathons to sound smart, especially when they actually have no idea what it means.
Example (from a 2011 Hackathon):
C++ Code:
int main()
{

cout<<"Enter your name";

cin >> name;

cout << "Hello, Brian!";
}
Brian: We used machine learning to greets the user, by learning their name.
*Brian won 4th place at the hackathon*

Remote learning 

(noun) An inferior substitute for in-person schooling after it is cancelled, possibly due to a Pandemic or something.
Thanks to Coronavirus, my whole class switched to remote learning. Now every morning I watch my teachers through a gritty, laggy webcam and receive an inferior education, but I still get to pay the same ridiculously high tuition!

Student: Did you see there was a Castle Learning due last night at 11:59 pm?
Friend: Yeah, I got a 79%. Most of the stuff we never learned and Yahoo Answers didn't always have the question.
Student: Well, I didn't do it at all.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
