A collection of written or typed paragraphs originally meant to, with fairly noble intentions, teach students how to introduce and support an idea logically and with solid, existing, and cited evidence, but more recently (and *most* of the time, but not always) assigned to middle- and high school students either as busy work or purely to piss them off. The teachers who assign essays for the latter reason just wants to see the world crash and burn.
I propose that we replace essays with tests comprised solely of multiple choice and short answer questions.

A ploy conceived by English teachers to show their jaded outlook towards students who are either too stupid to do it anyway, or are smart, but prefer pin-point to the point answering rather than spending five paragraphs trying to convince "X" to do "Y". They usually give people a week or so to do the essay, but it is known fact that nobody does the stupid things until the night before it's due.

Ray - "No, I've still got this clusterfuck of an essay to write."

Ray - "Yep. See you guys monday."

In the educational system, an essay is a long informational paper that is supposed to be 3 or more pages long with an introduction, at least 3 "detailed" body paragraphs with "source citations" up the wazoo, a conclusion, AND a bibliography with at least (insert large number here) "reliable" sources (NOT Wikipedia). Oh, and did I mention that some of these sources need to be from books & magazines that we always need to run to the library for, too? The topics for these wretched pieces of work are almost always going to be out of your control, so prepare to write about absolute bull. Research for these papers require hours of web surfing and/or book searching, since you need both a "reliable" source and a source in which you can extract a considerable amount of info from. So don't be surprised if you find yourself venturing beyond page 2 of the Google results. In addition to the pain you must endure from just finding useful info in a sea of crap, you must also cite almost EVERYTHING using MLA Format, putting the icing on the cake of frustration. If you don't, your whole essay will be a complete waste (see plagiarism).If you are in high school or college, you also have to write a lengthy evaluation of the sources themselves in your bibliography (a.k.a. "Annotated Bibliography"), which means even MORE running around. Once that cluster of bull is dealt with, the average academic essay is done, and the hell-bent burden of essay writing is lifted. . . for now.
Man, I feel like I just wrote an essay about essays on UD, lengthy words and everything. I gotta lay down. . .
