got PhD vs did PhD

Both phrases are commonly used, but they have slightly different meanings. 'Got PhD' implies that someone has obtained a PhD degree, while 'Did PhD' suggests that someone completed the work required for a PhD but does not necessarily mean they obtained the degree. The choice between the two depends on the context and the specific meaning the speaker wants to convey.
