English class

Share definition
Another stupid class.
You start off the year, doing easy shit like a review or some shit, but by September or October, you're being forced to read some gayass book written in 1950 about some 11 year old faggot who got lost on an island or some shit. Most people don't give enough fucks to actually read the goddamn book, and use Spark Notes and Wikipedia to write their essay. You get more homework then in any other class. The average homework for a 7th-10th grader consists of reading some shit book, writing some shit essay, doing some shit worksheets or filling in shit answers on your Spelling book. Over all, this class sucks, the homework sucks and school sucks.

And to make shit worse, there is ZERO FUCKING things to learn in English class.
If you're ever forced to take this class, well, sucks for you. I just flunk the goddamn english class.

a very funny joke:

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this Will
make sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in
favour of "k".This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a Deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
Kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl
riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find
it ezi tu understand ech oza.
Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

GCSE English Literature

Share definition
A GCSE (General Certificate of Education) that you can take in school. You will study a play and a book that your teacher will do his/her best to ruin by a.) forcing you to embarrassingly read them out loud in class, and b.) forcing you to over-analyze them whilst ignoring their immediate, aesthetic value.

But this is not always the case. If you are doing the foundation level (like I did) you will be thought of as too much of a retard to be able to read. Instead you will watch some pretentious film adaptation on an old TV not worthy to be shot at by a drugged-up Elvis Presley.

Either way, you will come away with an extremely negative view of classical literature. However, you may be lucky enough to rediscover it in later life and enjoy it properly.
GCSE English Literature Teacher: "So what can we see in Jessica's defiance of her father that is reminiscent of a 20th centry movement that has changed so much?"

Student: "Fascism?"
