Academic Decathlon

founded in the sixties by some guy from orange co. California.

Where a group of nine kids get together and study for a year on a designated topic (i.e. ancient civlizations) in hope to master 10 different skill areas. Incredibly hard competition at the national level and most likely california will win.

a joke is some states, and serious business in others.

a safe haven for the incredibly nerdy or naturally brilliant.

U.S.A.D. . . . umm it was fun and i learned stuff, but best of all it looks good on my resume`.

academic decathlon

a scholastic competition which involves all of the following:
1) the abuse of any number of anti-sleep substances
2) epic plastic swordfight
3) a 500 ton binder that won't ever be used for anything besides dropping it on the floor to annoy the superintendent on the first floor
4) a super-action-packed event called the super quiz, during which the honors students sit and laugh at the varsity students, followed by an intense jousting match
5) giving an interview and speech to a panel of three old, stoic and unfailingly unsatisfied judges
6) a vast amount of unattractive people

or, 7) a term used to describe anyone with large bags under their eyes, a vast amount of bruising or dry erase marker all over their hands

1) freshman year I used coffee to study lewis and clark, but i've found that anatomy and physiology requires crystal meth
2) did you see those freaks upstairs in plastic armor? the acadorks ought to be dragged out in the street and shot.
3) why does she have trouble walking into school on mondays and thursdays?
4) did you see that stupid kid who just got 0/5?! please, i got at least one.
5) my speech judge tried to hold up her "30 seconds remaining sign" but she was arthritic and so i continued on for five more minutes and got a 80.
6) hey, he's not bad looking... for an acadork.
7) that bitch in my ap lang and comp class? she makes no sense, she's so academic decathlon in the morning.

Academic Decathlon

Intellectual challenge whereby contestants:
1. Swim the English Channel while spelling all the words in the Oxford dictionary that start with the letter "E"
2. Rid a bicycle while reciting Ophelia's role from "Hamlet"
3. Run six miles wearing a graduation cap with tassel while singing old college drinking songs.
Winner gets to become a member of the Supreme Court.

I wonder if the Academic Decathalon will provide us with a conservative or a liberal?

Academic Decathlon

A source of immensely funny words of the "day" (chairness). Also a great place for smart slackers to discuss every single thing ever.
May be used as and adjective, or noun.
Abbr. AcaDeca.

That guy's so AcaDeca, that he should get a gold just for acting the part.

I'm going to an AcaDeca meeting on Thursday night at 5:30-7:30 at the high school in World Language 107.
