Problem Based Learning
aka a mountain of faeces that poor UK med students are subjected to. The aim of the task is to pretend to understand (supposedly for the sake of their future career under the NHS... ahem) each medical scenario using "oh-so-clever" patient names to give "ever-so-subtle" hints to the true diagnosis, e.g. Mr. Art Attak...
...Oh for fucks sake.

Professional Bullshiting Learning (Problem Based Learning)
A university subject students are forced to take which has no actual practical nor theoretical applications. Somebody managed to write textbooks about PBL containing nothing but pure bullshit rephrased in million different ways about group work. You could probably learn more from watching paint dry than to take this course.

Student A: Hey, have you read the pages for PBL today?
Student B: Yes, I did look into wall.
Example 2:
Student A: What did you guys learn about last PBL lecture?
Student B: How to bullshit my way into a passing grade.

PBL
Passed By Launch
Term used in the sport of rowing (a.k.a. Crew) for a boat moving so slow relative to the rest of the boats in the race that the Launch carrying the Race Officials passes the slow boat to keep up with the pack of competitive boats.
Boats that PBL usually finish DFL (Dead Fucking Last).
Damn Dude, our Varsity 8 was PBL. WTF went wrong!!??
