Oh boyWhen I'm about to bollock a load of students for not turning up to lectures, we describe it as an "attitude readjustment session"
We're not allowed to use the words "stupid" or "rubbish" when marking work (it offends the sensitive souls), so I use phrases such as "this work demonstrates a number of outstanding knowledge opportunities"
