SOAPS

A type of writing AP Language and Composition teachers like to ask you to do for a book during summer. SOAPS stands for subject, occasion, audience, purpose, and speaker.

Subject - What is this about?

Occasion- What happened to cause this to be said/written? Why was it recorded?

Audience- Who is the intended audience?

Purpose- Why was this spoken/written? What purpose does it serve?

Speaker- Who is the speaker or author?

All in all, SOAPS gives students hell.

Joe: FUCK! I have to finish my SOAPS for AP Language and Composition!

Nick: Damn dude. GL. School is tomorrow. It took me like 8 hours!

Joe: DAMN SOAPS!!!!

SOAP

An abbreviation for "Same Opposite Always Positive" used in math to simplify the process of factoring polynomials.

SOAP refers to whether the sign before a variable should be positive or negative.

(a^3+b^3) = (a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)
(a^3-b^3) = (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

Wayne, are you ready for the math test next period?
Aw man! I'm such a chode stroker, I never learned how to use soap. I'm going to fail!
