Get the Dogfish Ear mug.A school that primarily focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Usually involves K-12 education, and tends to be a charter school or other form of school not within the public school district. They may be known as "STEM academies."
While some STEM schools may teach only a specific age group of children, many go from Kindergarten to 8th grade, or even Kindergarten to 12th. While the age levels are separated, a student enrolled in the school is guaranteed a spot in the school all the way to the oldest grade available, bypassing the need to re-apply or be stuck in the waiting list during the transition from elementary to middle, and/or middle to high school.
These schools generally have stricter policies regarding behavior than other schools, but may not be as strict as private schools. Students generally wear uniforms involving polo shirts and navy or khaki pants.

Alayna graduated from a K-12 STEM school. She remembered the school colored polo shirts with a mix of nostalgia and relief that she could wear whatever she wanted in college. One thing she knew for certain, however, is that her goofy 11th grade Chemistry teacher inspired her to study Chemistry in college, which was just as difficult as she expected. Nonetheless, she was putting as much effort as she possibly could, and didn't appear to be failing anytime soon.

Get the STEM school mug.When a teen or young adult becomes tired of their scene phase, and begins to conform to what they view as a hippie lifestyle. They listen to a mixture of psychedelic rock, folk, grunge, reggae, and indie bands while gaining an interest in psychedelics like shrooms and LSD. Unlike someone who fully transitions into the hippie lifestyle, there are still remnants of their old scene.
They may start to emulate a stereotypical hippie appearance by dreading their hair, or trimming only their bangs for more of a Beatles style hairdo if their hair is short enough. Unlike hipsters, they generally have longer hair and rarely ever have undercuts. They still have some variation of scene hair, especially with how their hair is layered. If they are able to grow facial hair, they may do so, unlike in scene culture where clean-shaven faces are praised.
They still wear tight jeans, though they are more likely to wear sweaters, shawls, sandals, boots, and drug rugs than their scene counterparts. Hippiecore kids prefer to dress in earth tones or colors that are not neon, though they may still wear black if they're going for more of a witchy look. They have similar styles of piercings as before including snake bites and stretched ears, but are less likely to use acrylic or silicone jewelry and will opt for natural materials.
Eventually, hippiecore kids may fully transition into the hippie lifestyle, revert back into a regular scene kid, or may become something else entirely.

Technically, Panic At The Disco and its fans went through a brief hippiecore phase in 2008 with the release of their album Pretty. Odd. This was only the beginning for some of the fanbase.

Get the hippiecore mug.A play on the words "weeaboo" and "caribou."
An American or other non-Canadian person who is obsessed with Canadian culture, including hockey, lumberjack inspired fashion, and poutine. Cariboos also tend to be fans of the show Degrassi and/or the YouTuber, MattG124. They will gladly move to Canada, assuming they can afford doing so.

Jordan had recently became a cariboo. On the outside, he just looked like any other hipster, but on the inside, his heart pumped maple syrup and he dreamed of one day learning how to ice skate so he could play hockey at the local rink.

Get the cariboo mug.1. A term used when someone says something that is too bleak or depressing for that particular situation. It's generally used in a way that implies that person should tone it down, but in a way that isn't as harsh.
2. A term of endearment for a black dog. This is a reference to the grims from Harry Potter, which are mythical black dogs said to be omens of death. Calling your dog a little grim is similar to calling your black cat a familiar in that it is poking fun at the popular image of the animals.

Get the little grim mug.Someone who is inexperienced with dating but pretends that they have a lot more experience than they really do. They will switch between being very poetic about love to being bluntly sexual in seemingly random intervals in a conversation, usually very short after meeting someone.
They do not take rejection well, but also may not acknowledge that a rejection occurred in the first place.
Despite this, they often brag about their success and dating experience, and make this their whole identity.

Within five minutes, Jerry had told her she was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, implied the possibility of marriage, asked her if she liked rough sex, asked if she wanted to be his slave, and ignored her attempts to reject him. All in all, a move typical of a smoothmaster.

Get the smoothmaster mug.A large assortment of layered shirts either worn by a young tomboy, teen with gynocemastia, or FtM in an attempt to hide their developing breasts.
Usually worn when sports bras don't do the job-or are too uncomfortable-and they can't afford other alternatives. Unfortunately, this usually makes the wearer look incredibly sloppy.

Example 1: Erica's little sister started to wear a camo bundle every day ever since she became a preteen.
Example 2: Since Sam was only 13, he couldn't possibly afford a proper chest binder, so he used a camo bundle to hide his chest.
