poetry slam

a poem reading competition who primary participants are white people, specifically grown up white boys and basic white girls. Does not take much talent as it's a white people version of a rap battle.

Poetry Slam

An event that takes place during school hours in which fat black women tell you how they don't want to be treated as objects, people tell their girlfriends how lustful they are, minorities telling you how they don't want to be judged, and politics by the boatload. All of these things will eventually consume not only your class time, but they will also eat into your lunch time, to the point where you have just enough time to buy food from the vending machine, and eat it on the way to your next class.

Person 1: dude, the Poetry Slam is tomorrow.
Person 2: well I better pack a lunch and some earplugs.

Poetry Slam

A public gathering where talentless liberals applaud each other’s verbal mutterings of whatever meaningless drivel they believe is poetry (virtually any thought they can croak into a microphone while feigning profound sincerity).

Jill: “Hey Jack, only $20 admission to the poetry slam tonight. Wanna go?”
Jack: “Anyone who pays admission for a circle-jerk is the one getting slammed.”
