作业求分手
[zuò yè qiú fēn shŏu]
This humorous nickname uses school assignment ('homework') as a metaphor for asking for an end to a relationship. This could imply either that doing homework is seen by the speaker as a reason (possibly frivolous) to break up, indicating a dislike for burdened things like assignments; or more likely, humorously venturing the hardship of studies akin to breaking a romantic tie - pointing out students’ lighthearted complaints or coping mechanisms under study pressure, and might have become popular slang among student community who jest about their busy academic life using dating-related expressions.
