PhD = permanent head damage

wooops. PhD gets a new meaning.

 

Yeah, that works. I've always like the Piled Higher and Deeper one as well.

In Chicago we said it meant "Pin Headed Dummy."

 

I too have always favored, Piled Higher and Deeper. After I finished my defense, I had a Dissertation Burning party (nothing like killing those brain cells that you worked so hard to develop)... My wife, with her twisted sense of humor, made a huge cake for the fiesta with "Piled Higher and Deeper" written out and little creatively arranged piles of brown frosting over the top of the cake.

Fortunately, there was enough alcohol available that nobody seemed to mind.

Whew, I feel much better now. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. <grin>

 

Dear Jonathan,

In Hong Kong and Macau, the PhD stands for "Permanent Health Damage."

Cheers!
