Any kind of plagiarized writing by persons of
power. Term coined after the doctoral thesis of Hungarian President
Pal Schmitt. A Piece of ScHmITt can be distinguished from other forms of
plagiarism by the author’s reliance on political or other means of control to circumvent standards and avoid being held accountable once their fraud is exposed.
Dude 1: Have recently found out that our
head of department plagiarized my
father’s

Dude 2: Sure, but it’s a Piece of ScHmITt, so there’s nothing you can do about it.
