Pronounced (term-paper-itis): a pejorative term used to describe a style of writing typically employed by academic scholars and some students.
The style is marked by long, drawn-out, but grammatically correct sentences, jargon, extraneous words, and generally dry text.
Typical symptoms of term-papertis: When reading the text aloud you may find yourself out of breath, gasping for air and/or your eyes glazing over.

A term used to poke fun at word Ese. It's a play on the Spanish pronunciation of Ese which sounds like the English Essay. Term paper is an other way to say Essay. Ese's are usually Hispanic gang members or friends.
