disso (plural dissos)

1. (slang, UK) A dissertation.

   • 2020 July 30, Maddy Mussen, “We spoke to people who finished with 69 per cent at uni about how they handled it”, in The Tab‎^[1]:

     “I was just annoyed when I worked out all the rounding and I knew it would be 69 – which sucked, because it was so close – but I was also glad that at least I got a 2:1. For a while I didn’t think I’d even get that. I think because my disso just wasn’t that great it dragged my overall percentage down and I couldn’t fix that.
