Hernigan

A skinny obnoxious person who is starved for attention. Very loud and boisterous with extreme mood swings: one minute they are on a high horse annoying others, and the next the world is ending in their opinion. They tend to "bob" when in high horse mode.

The hernigan that is perched up at the bar is getting on everyones nerves. I wish someone would bring him down off his high horse and send him home.

red herring

In novels, usually mystery novels, a "red herring" is an extraneous character meant to divert the reader's attention from the true killer/robber/etc. It is usually a logical choice for the culprit, but ends up being nothing.

I thought Hampton was the killer, but he was a total red herring. It was Muldoon.

Herregud

The Norwegian way of saying "Oh my God".

Widely used by people in every age, young and old. Some might think it's a curse word, others wont.

Can be used in a lot of different situations.

"Herregud, that's awesome!"
"Oh my God, that's awesome!"

"Herregud da!"
"Give it a rest!"

Herrick Middle School

A middle school with very bad teachers who body shame girls, share biased opinions on politics, and personally victimize students.

Example: *girl 1 with small boobs walks by with V-neck*

*girl 2 with big boobs walks by wearing the same shirt*

Teacher: "girl 2, please change your top"

Girl 2: "but girl 1 was wearing the same shirt!"

herrick middle school's policy is modesty.
