general chemistry

as a high school class, a hell of a lot easier than AP chemistry
as a college class, a hell of a lot harder than AP chemistry

"Josh is in general chemistry. He's dumb"
"General chem is nothing like what we did in AP chem last year"

chemistry

The only natural science that can be broken down into the categories "making drugs" and "blowing stuff up". Unfortunately, chemistry isn't all fun and games, mostly because of chemistry teachers, who are always bitching about things like "significant figures" and "molality versus molarity".

Remember that chemistry demonstration where the teacher burned his eyebrows off? That was hilarious.

AP Chemistry

A college credit class taken by high school students during the latter years (junior or senior, usually). The class reviews a set number of pre-defined topics by the College Board. The test is formulated by a very devious and malevolent group of individuals who masquerade under the common name Educational Testing Service, or ETS. The sole purpose of this group is to devise a monstrous 3-hour examination composed of two sections, each worth 50% of the test-taker's grade.

Section I - 90 minutes
75 Multiple Choice Questions

Section II - 95 minutes
Part A - 55 minutes
- 3 problems
Part B - 40 minutes
- 2 essay questions
- 1 chemical reactions question

Each free response question will normally be composed of 5-7 subquestions in the form of 1)a, 1)b, 1)c, 1)d, 1)e... Each subquestion will be worded in a cruelly confusing manner and require the test taker to scramble frantically through his/her sheet of common chemical equations before, upon realizing that the equation is either not listed or discovering that he/she doesn't know how to use the equation, bursting into inconsolable tears. Studies show that that this is a common reaction. Stay calm, smile at the proctor, pick up your pencil, and write THIS IS SPARTA across the available space.

What NOT to write on the AP Chemistry Exam

Johnny was a Chemist's son
But Johnny is no more
What Johnny thought was H2O
Was H2SO4

organic chemistry

A discipline of chemistry which involved the study of the structure, reactions, compounds, et. al. of organisms and other organic compounds that contain carbon. Often refered to simply as "organic" or "o-chem." Considered by many to be the number one ass-raper on college campuses.

After that first organic chemistry test Little Billy decided that a degree in chemistry wasn't worth it.

Chemistry

1. the art of pretending to be a noble gas

2. an agonizing high school class designed to teach students about definition 1

1. I'm going to do some chemistry.

2. I failed chemistry.

General Chemistry

A series of chemistry courses usually taken by science majors and pre-health students. Used as a prerequisite to harder classes, like organic chemistry, etc. It is also used as a "weed-out" class for many universities because it will likely rape you and your GPA up the butt, and prevent you from doing whatever it was you came to college to do.

Student 1: "My ass hurts from the general chemistry rape session I just had this year."

Student 2: "You think your ass hurts from gen. chem.? Just wait until you take organic."

Student 1: "Fml."

baseball chemistry

1. When everyone in the clubhouse is getting along (i.e. there is no Barry Bonds, Jeff Kent, and T.O. has not decided to play baseball). The power of friendship and positive thinking will overcome.

2. The only thing that is perhaps more overrated than Tim Burton.

Reggie Jackson -- the biggest clubhouse cancer of his generation -- won five rings in seven years. Who needs baseball chemistry when you have star power?
