A Poem about Poetry in Iambic Tetrameter
The Iamb! the Trochee! can't you see
they're different kinds of poetry
Oh no, you say, they're types of verse.
So I was cursed until the end
Oh, God! Oh, Friend, can you help me
Release myself from agony?

Get the iamb mug.Proof of America's sexist bias. Although it's obviously designed to address the male sex, this phrase is used just as often by girls between girls.
After leaving band class every day, I would always hear the same group of girls address one another: "hey, you guys, listen." I find it ironic there was not a single guy in their midst.

Get the you guys mug.Lacrosse is a trendy sport that seems to have been idolized by many in the past 5 years. It appears to be a rather preppy sport, although I am not the best judge for that.
1)Honestly, I first heard of Lacrosse two years ago, when someone in my social studies class made a Lacrosse stick as part of a Native American research project.
2)The preppily-dressed senior had to go to her Honda to retrieve the lacrosse stick she forgot.

Get the lacrosse mug.1. Crazy latin literary/art term for a reminder of death. Memento Mori is often seen in 17th century Dutch paintings.
2. The names of two of the best megawads ever created for DooM II.

1. If you look at that painting sideways, you'll see a memento mori.
2. After spending a week beating the expertly-crafted levels of Memento Mori II, I was blown away. Every other DooM WAD that followed was bland.

Get the Memento mori mug.Lockdown, or Lockdown Mode, is when a public school building is literally locked down so that the Police, as well as the Great Drug-Sniffing Dogs, can search - without a warrant - lockers for drugs and other Contraband Items. And before you ask, yes it is constitutional. I am so sorry.
1. During the annual lockdown mode, we must turn off all the lights in the classroom and not move a muscle; if we are seen in the hallways we are automatically a suspect.
2. Many students question whether this Torture violates the fourth amendment - as there is search and seizure going on without a Warrant - but I'm afraid that you lose many constitutional rights when we go into our schools.
