n. One who has been in graduate school for 10 years (the usual maximum is 5
|
|
|
|
|
or 6): a ten-yeared student (get it?). Actually, this term may be used of
|
|
|
|
|
any grad student beginning in his seventh year. Students don't really get
|
|
|
|
|
tenure, of course, the way professors do, but a tenth-year graduate student
|
|
|
|
|
has probably been around the university longer than any untenured professor.
