Dog’s Zankation Syndrome 

It is a syndrome that affects students and it means that the student studies what has been studied in three or four months just few hours before the exam. This syndrome begins one or two days before the exam or in any means of transport while the student is literally on his way to sit for the exam.
Symptoms are “laughing for no reason accompanied by crying and increased hunger and thirst”..
( polyphagia , polydipsia , severe psychosis ).
The treatment usually consists of calming down the student and reminding him that the world is at the end a meter by meter.
(Doctors recommend serving him food he likes along with mint tea).
Friend: Do you want to hung out later?

Student: I can’t! I have an exam tomorrow! Just pray I survive this Dog’s zankation syndrome.

zanulinquent 

Present Generation of young Zimbabwean of Card carrying Zanu PF parents, who having witness to the looting and subsequent failure of the Zimbabwean economy have taken on the mantra that the world owes them something.
While running a student Digs in Grahamstown for Rhodes University students for close to ten years, I've had the pleasure of getting to know many Zimbabweans as tenants, then and now. Still the 2008 intake was a rude awakening. The housed group of friends, established a squatter camp, abused the house's shared power bill and had neighbours calling complaining to me about drunken public "urinating-for-distance" contests from the house-front steps, or repeatedly calling the police for noise disturbance. The King Zanulinquent was resident for two years before avoiding signing his final lease, then skipping his last month’s payment leaving others to fit the bill ala this definition. Small Claims Court willing his underpants will be listed on www.bidorbuy.co.za very soon

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
