Common Era

Abbreviated as "CE", it is a euphemistic replacement for Anno Domini (Latin: In the year of our Lord), or "AD". It is used to avoid having to reference Jesus Christ in the dating system we all use.

It's basically the same idea as saying "Holiday tree" instead of "Christmas tree". In otherwords, it's fucking pointless and lame.
John: It is now the year 2010 CE, or of the "Common Era". I guess this means we're just "common" people in a "common" era.

Peter: STFU, jackass, it's 2010 AD for fuck's sake.

John: Oh, that's right, shit.

Slowest Common Denominator

The kid in class who slows down the rest by having to get every last thing repeated to him/her 8 times before understanding it.
Teacher 1) I hear you got Tommy and Linda in English class. I had them last year. They're some really bright kids.

Teacher 2) Yeah, but I feel horrible. It's damn near Christmas and we still haven't finished basic sentence structure because Kyle still doesn't understand subject-verb agreement and he asks me 2 dozen questions per class that I've already answered.

Teacher 1) That's always so unfortunate, when the brightest in the bunch are put in the same classes as the Slowest Common Denominator.

Teacher 2) Yeah. I wish there was room in the budget to have more advanced classes.
