" Ph.D. means ' Permanently Head Damaged ' ", they say.

Let's not make more fuss about it. After all, we all claim ourselves to "academics." let present the simplest definition of a "Ph.D.", or a "PhD". Here you are colleagues, I just had to dig it out:

The PhD degree - a simple definition

"The term 'PhD' stands for 'Doctor of Philosophy'. In most cases, a PhD:

    Is an advanced postgraduate degree involving three or more years of independent research on an original topic.
    Is carried out with the support of one or more expert academic supervisors.
    Results in a thesis that offers a significant original contribution to knowledge.
    Confers the title ‘Doctor’ upon successful candidates.
    Is the highest academic degree a student can achieve and is considered the de facto entrance qualification for a career in academia."

You all got it now?
