The CP terminology

Every generation have a lingo which differs from the the previous one and would differ from the generations to come. A little thought more given, every institute/colleges etc will have lingos different from each other. As per my belief lingos appear in the day to day spoken conversations
a) as a tool to look hip
b) distinguish one's alma mater from others to show superiority in some sense
There could be other reasons as well, but the point being they do exist and will keep on existing.

Now our insitute too has a whole range of words which are used here. Not concentrating on all of those I would focus more on the branch and subsidiaries of just one term - "CP".
Without being verbose I hereby give you my analysis of CP. :)

CP: Class participation - The act of putting across one point to (a) genuinely agree/disagree with whatever teachers have said, or (b) get into the eyes of the teacher in anticipation of a couple of extra marks. Youth has distorted its verb form to a noun form referring to a person who does this act.
DCP: Desperate CP - A person with a worm of 'pick me-pick me' syndrome while contributing to the topic discussed in the class. These people need to say something else some underworld Don somewhere would shoot some beloved of theirs.
e.g. - A person keeping his/her hands up until the teacher notices and still keeps the hands in the air until given a chance to speak.
ACP: Arbit CP - A relatively milder form of 'pick me-pick me' syndrome wherein the person while trying to contirubte something to the topic might deviate from the topic. At times they need to show off their knowledge in other topics and hence the digression.
e.g. - A person co-relating the social contracts and harmony in which corals of East coastal Australia live while talking about the communication between the employees in an organization.
SCP: Solo CP - A person who single handedly keeps the baton of CP and runs alone in the 4X100 race. Often such incidence happen when the lecturer is so sleep inducing that most of the class is sleeping and since someone has to say something our SCP comes to the rescue.

As of now I have been able to identify only these many forms of CPs. I hope I would be identify more through my stay at my institute. :)
