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.

Denomination

A form of domination in which you, by yourself or with a team, dominate someone(s) or something else so badly in any sporting event, video game, office contest, schoolwork, or relative bragging rights situation that you establish yourself or your team on a much greater level than your opponent(s). Not only have you dominated the opposition, you have relegated them and made it very clear that you, by yourself or with your comrades, are vastly greater than them at the said event. Essentially, you are way out of their league, and you have rightly put them in their place, possibly and preferably by humiliating them as well.

To establish a vast difference in class between two opposing sides, through overwhelming skill that glorifies the winners and humiliates the losers.

Variations of "denomination" include "denominate", "denominated", and "denominating". It is also encouraged to celebrate any act of "denomination" by taunting your opposition with denomination's appropriate abbreviated term, "deez-nuts".
