Outline 

noun: Based on an entire chapter of a huge ass book. Has absolutely no purpose to it and it is done for one homework grade although, it takes >3 hours to do and most likely will take up five pages out of an expensive notebook. Can be considered as a type of "notes" but often times, after handing said papers in, it is not given back until after a test which you could have used it to study for. Sadly, the teacher forgets to give the papers back before the test you took and makes an idiotic excuse that basically makes you want to rip their head off and feed it to a large carnivorous plant that lives in Colorado.

The excuse: "I don't have them graded yet... but you don't need to study off of your outline anyways. the test didn't have that material on it. I already gave you (extremely long and specific- most likely focusing on things you don't understand because the teacher doesn't allow you to ask questions- things that you couldn't care less about) notes to study off of!" *happy smile*

Your reaction: .................WTF. Just.... WTF -_______-

I should be doing my outline at this moment. But, it being so very close to final exams, my tolerance for such useless information is at just about zero. Do you have a problem with this? If so, you can go join my teacher in Colorado.

Outline in Color 

Pretty much the greatest band ever composed of Jonathan Grimes with his sexy vocals, Trevor Tatro with his ear-splitting screams, Forrest Mankins and See Jay Cochran with their awesome guitar skills, keyboarding skills by the talented Michael Skaggs, and last but not least, crazy drumming played by the great Austin Mcferrin. They are out of Tulsa, Oklahoma and are often seen playing at the Marquee. They currently have an EP and Bad Romance Cover on iTunes and are definitely gonna make it big. Also seen with the initials of OIC.

Guy 1: "Do you know the band Outline in Color?"

Guy 2: "Hells yeah, I'm going to see them at the Marquee tonight!"

Outline Overloader 

Someone who submits an assignment that’s just a bloated outline, mistaking structure for substance. This person uses bullet points, headers, and transitions but never develops full ideas.

She submitted a skeleton draft and called it complete. Classic Outline Overloader move.
