substitute

Also called "sub", the poor person, either fresh out of college or old and retired, who fills in for absent teachers. The sub can expect to be ridiculed and tortured by bitch-ass 7th graders who will do anything in their power not to finish an easy worksheet left them by their teacher. The sub is basically a $55/day babysitter.
Bitch-ass kid: Ah hell yeah we got a substitute today! We ain't doin shit! Hey Mister, uhh...Mister!(kid can't read last name on the board because he's an illiterate degenerate) Can I go to da bafroom?

substitute person 

A person that is only desired or wanted at their significant other's conveinience.
From a quote by "Claire" in the film Elizabethtown

The significant other of the substitute person may not "have enough time" or "be too busy" for a relationship, or they may only be interested for the purpose of sex, money, status, or general need of someone to talk to during times of stress. The substitute person generally won't get the emotional fulfillment from the experience that he/she may crave, and will feel unimportant yet somehow will continue on out of hope.

This can only end in tears for the substitute person.

Substitute teacher 

Someone who does not know anything about teaching, yet still gets payed while the students don't learn anything that day

substitute person 

1. A person who is the replacement for a significant other, relative, or friend that isn't around anymore.

2. Derived from a quote by Claire from Elizabethtown.
"You and I have a special talent," Claire says to Drew. "And I saw it immediately. We're the substitute people. I've been the substitute person my whole life. I'm not an Ellen a co-worker Drew was into. I never wanted to be an Ellen. And I'm not a Cindy either…I like being alone too much. I mean, I'm with a guy who is married to his academic career. I rarely see him and I'm the substitute person there. I like it that way. It's a lot less pressure."

"Since Anne just broke up with Joe, Emily is Joe's substitute person."

The most foolish kind of species of teachers are substitute teachers. THEY ARE FUCKING STUPID... LIKE REALLY FUCKING STUPID. They make you wet your pants.

Students: We eat pizza and watch Netflix all-day *quietly pissing their pants of laughter*
*AWKWARD SILENCE*
SUBSTITUTE TEACHER: Ok, then let's do that

Substitute Teacher 

Great to have cover your lessons at school in Years 7 to 9, but once you hit GCSE level in Year 10 to 11, it is a bit of a piss-take at how unqualified some teachers can be.
Example...

Year 7 : What? Miss isn't in?? SCORE!! We have a Substitute teacher!!!

Year 11 : What? Miss isn't in? Great, I'm gonna fail my exams now we have a Substitute teacher!
