Grad School Dictionary and Thesaurus

After prolonged contemplation, I decided that I would much rather spend my time studying grad school instead of studying the stuff they teach. As a consequence, I have decided to compile a list of commonly used words/phrases with their meanings to help outsiders comprehend the life of a grad student.

All those who have had profound insights akin to mine are strongly encouraged to share their list or refine existing list. Just add your update/insert (for lack of funnier words) in the comment.

Here is a sneak peek of what I have compiled so far. Keep checking the post for more ...
