(noun) formal dance, usually in the springtime.

for high school juniors and seniors, and the occasional underclassman who gets asked by a desperate upperclassman.

slightly overrated.

some may experience a 'creative' way of being asked to the dance.
'creative' way of asking: someone painting 'PROM?' on the hood of your brand new car with paint that actually doesn't wash off. you deny him, but take the homemade cookies he made for you, because shit, your car is fucked.

Waste. Of. Money.
You have to pay obscene amounts of money for a god damn dance. Prom means you have to buy a Dress/Tux, Ticket, Limo, hotel, dinner, etc.
