A swot is the kid who’s always studying, revising, and actually doing the homework while everyone else is chatting rubbish. It’s usually teasing, not proper nasty, like calling someone a teacher’s pet with extra highlighters. As a verb, to swot means to cram hard for an exam or test. Honestly, swots keep the grade boundaries savage.
"You coming out Friday? Nah, I’m swotting for the maths exam. Mate, it’s Year 10, calm down. Says you, you’ve got one pencil and it’s borrowed."
