Adjunct Professor

A cheap, untenured lecturer that teaches for peanuts at a university, naively hoping that they will beat the odds and one day get hired into a tenure-track position.
Dude, did you know that professor Smith is an adjunct professor, and he makes less teaching this class than I did working at Wendy's last summer? What a tool!

penilpharyngeal adjunct  

An airway adjunct to be used by males on female patients. Contraindications include male patients, animals, relatives, and old ladies. Adjunct is to be inserted all the way into patient's (preferably hot co-ed) throat. If gag reflex is activated, reinsert over and over until warm pleasing lotion coats patients throat resulting in better breathing(patient) and shortness of breath(rescuer).
That chick at the bar came home to my place and was excited when i gave her the ol penilpharyngeal adjunct complete with throat yogurt.

adjunctsploitation 

The unspoken practice of heaping unreasonable amounts of the academic grunt work that no higher-ranking faculty will deign to do upon adjunct professors and then either severely underpaying them for their labor or paying them in "experience." Appropriate credit for this labor is typically withheld.
"Did you hear that Ms. Smith is doing all of the research for Dr. Collins's book while he gets the credit?"
"Why would she agree to that?!"
"Dunno, man. I'll bet he told her she could have a line on her CV or maybe he's paying her in peanuts under the table. Maybe she's just hoping it gives her the illusion of job security."
"That's some real adjunctsploitation right there."

Adjunktsøvn 

A Norwegian word meaning "adjunct professor nap" which is used to describe the nap you need, to get through the day, working as an adjunct professor.
The naps can span from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the amount of stress your studentgroup leads to.
My students were way out of line today. Had to take a 5 hour "adjunktsøvn".

Or

Today was a breeze... Only took a 5 min ute "adjunktsøvn" today!
