history teacher

The history teacher is always most likely the most coolest teacher to ever exist they always are chill on homework by not giving much or any at all they not only giving little to no work they also understand the problems of modern day such as Mondays and wanting to leave school on Friday the minute you get in class last but not least they teach probably the only subject anyone gives a shit about.

people who aren't in history class: my math teacher is making me have homework over the weekend

people in history class:wow that sucks we get to have a whole week without homework thanks to our history teacher

History Fair

A INSANE academic competition in which middle and high school students create a documentary, performance, exhibit or paper about a local topic. In the process these students face there wits' end as competition further divides a cliquey middle school and people start losing even more sleep. If you can survive history fair then you can survive middle school.

"OMFG! History Fair!"
Teacher:So how long did you spend on History Fair
Student:I dunno like every minute of my free time
Teacher: You still haven't put in your best effort. As a student of INSERT SCHOOL NAME HERE we expect more than you even though you are going to get your butt kicked by some rich kids in the suburbs.

History Withdrawal

is an unpleasant state that occurs when someone who has recently participated in the 2010 week-long summer teacher institute, wakes up the Saturday after returning home to realize they don't need to be up, dressed, and in their designated spot by 7:30 AM. They realize the day's schedule is empty or at least empty of authentic historical experiences. They must wear their civilian clothing all day long! There is no historical clothing waiting to be worn.

Those 24 participants had to abruptly curtail their emersion in history which has left a major void.

Symptoms include: boredom, loneliness, anxiety about being cut off from the historical triangle, jitters from wanting to reach out and touch an artifact, cravings to be standing on the same ground as John Smith, actually WANTING to start school before September in order to try out new interpreting ideas!

WARNING: Could be contagious!

Friend: "Are you totally excited to be back home from the institute? I bet you have a million things you want to do!"

(you are laying on the couch, staring blankly at the wall in front of you)

You: "Nah dude! I can't do anything. I'm going through history withdrawal. I need to be in Jamestown or Yorktown getting more knowledge!"

history teacher

a teacher who teaches things you will never use and eventually forget entirely, but things they're the most important things to know in the universe.

"Ugh. My History teacher is the worst. They assinged us an essay we didn't know about until now that's due tomorrow!"
"I know, right?"

history is written by the victors

A phrase (first stated by Winston Churchill) used mostly by neo-nazis trying to make points about idiotic conspiracies even though they have practically zero evidence on their theories.

Professor: "Over 6 million Jewish people died in the holocaust"

The white conservative kid: "As Churchill said, history is written by the victors..."

History Channel Love Sandwich

If your ultimate fantasy is to have 4 generations at once, e.g., her, her mother, her grandmother and her 16 year old daughter. It's sometimes called the "Intra-generational Five-way".

Why don't we get Agnes, Barbara, yourself and Amber together for a History Channel Love Sandwich sometime? I'll be the meat.
