Urban Word for the Day: academic bulemia

Academic Bulemia:
When someones memorizes copious amounts of info leading up to something like an exam. Once they have spewed all the answers out onto the paper they pretty much forget straight away what they memorized. This is academic bulemia.

Or as the site put it:

The process of learning or memorizing by rote, subsequently followed by the regurgitation of that knowledge onto an exam answer sheet. Just as with the serious eating disorder, this form of bulemia results in no real retention of substance. This term is frequently applied to describe a common practice of young medical students. "I can't remember anything that I learned last night. It's like I grabbed the answer sheet, puked out all the answers and forgot everything immediately. I'd say that's academic bulemia."
