Academic incest
Doesn't seem to be a notable term (and seems rather incredible). 547 Ghits, but I think they're actually just comparing hiring people who haven't been at other universities to incest, not actually trying to coin a neologism, and it clearly didn't spread for that reason.

 * Delete. More patent nonsense than rory gives it credit for being --Check 05:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nonsense; uses a web blog as source. Cuñado  [[image:Bahai star.svg|20px]] -  Talk  07:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Better yet, it cites a forum as a source. -- Alphachimp   talk  07:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. DarthVad e r 08:54, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The article references are poorly chosen, but a google search shows that the phrase has been used in serious contexts such as a keynote speech by the VC/President of the University of Canberra. I would delete the entire "Alternate meaning" St. Andrews section though as a silly nonnotable local phrase. Bwithh 11:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * delete. It takes more than a handful of instances of two words appearing together to make a genuine neologism.--cjllw | TALK  14:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Bad sources. Does anybody remember how "The Incest Song" goes? -  Corbin  Be excellent  17:06, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
