cramming: translation

The practice of adding an unexpected fee onto a person's phone bill

Example Citation:

"Call it 'cramming,' 'whamming' or 'super-slamming.' Call it what you will, but Lorraine Parker calls it a ripoff. Parker was shocked recently to find charges crammed deep into her phone bill for services she says she didn't authorize."

— Cam Simpson, "New phone scam: 'Cramming' your bill," Chicago Sun-Times, October 17, 1997

Notes:

Of the three terms listed in the citation, above, the usage marketplace seems to have decreed "cramming" the winner over "whamming" and "super-slamming." That makes linguistic sense because this practice involves stuffing bogus charges onto otherwise-innocent phone bills, and "stuff" and "cram" are synonymous verbs.

Cramming: translation

An emergency test-preparation strategy that involves an attempt to absorb copious amounts of information in a short period prior to an exam. Cramming is a memorization technique that only lasts for the short term. For long-term retention of material, it is recommended students practice active learning and critical thinking through discussions, individual thinking and studying in groups.

Although generally frowned upon as a preparation strategy by educators, cramming has found success among some students for its ability to pack large amounts of information into a short amount of time. In fact, one study by the University of Michigan found that there was little to no correlation between the amount of time spent studying and a student's grade. This may be one of the reasons why cramming is so widely used.
