formula dropping

Like name dropping, but in the context of test-writing in the sciences. Rather than dropping names to inflate one's stature, one would "drop" any pertinent formula to feign comprehension. Formula dropping would be done most commonly when one does not know how to solve the given problem.

John: What did you do for #3?! I couldn't even come close to solving it!
Fred: I had absolutely no clue where to begin. I just formula dropped as much as I could. Partial marks!
John: Oh man, formula dropping! I should have thought of that :(

Firebird Formula

The Firebird Formula is the most badass car you can buy for under 20 grand. Its the best Firebird you can buy surpassing the horsepower and torque of the Firebird Trans Am and completely anilates any pussy that drives a Mustang. Often referred to as the best american muscle car ever made considering its light weight and alot of horsepower. The car looks really good with the WS6 ram air hood and t-tops. This car is all around the most badass motherfucking pussy stomping mustang killing beast you can buy for almost nothing not to mention burns rubber like a male pornstar fucking a hooker. If you come across a Firebird Formula its generally not a good idea to race it considering it will shit on your stupid fucking import that you got from the cheap ass chinese bastards.

Person 1: Did you see that Civic get smashed?
Person 2: Yeah but what the hell was he racing?
Person 3: That there gentalmen is a fucking "Firebird Formula"
Person 1: Damn! I want one of those badasses
Person 2: Hellz Yeah bitches

format C:\

Format C: or Format C:\ is a command in MS-DOS. When you type this command, the C drive of your Hard Drive will be reformatted (to FAT32), meaning that all its entry will be deleted. No virus, program or data can survive this deleting process, unless you can back up the file. If you got this from someone, first of all, know that this person has been working with computers for a fairly long time. Second, is the meaning of this phrase; It means "everything that I remember from you is gone". It can be in a good way, like deleting all the bad memories, and it can also be in a bad way, of deleting all the good memories. Since drive C usually carries the temporary data, it can also mean "the recent memories are deleted". That could be stuff that you load into your head for a test in a single day.
But dont use it in your daily life, this is not really a common phrase and is usually used by computer nerds. This is just for you to understand the meaning and the concept of the usage of this word.

Example 1:
- lets start over again :) heh
- Format C:\

Example 2:
-Ah man I memorized the whole book for today's test. i guess imma do ok.
-heh, yeah...um, what was the answer for number two?
-I dunno, not anymore.
-heh, how come?
-'cause when Im done taking the test, I just go like..."Format C:\"!... I just forget about everything I memorized so I can get ready for the next test.
-you kiddin?!
-I swear!

Formula 1

unlike the DTM (Deutsch Touring Mastersheift) which is the pinnacle of road racing in full bodied cars.. F1 is the best of the best in open wheel racing.. founded in 1950 at Silverstone. it has quickly grown to be the worlds second most popular form of auto racing (just behind the WRC which is the first) and is very much like the English Premier League of Auto Racing... the cars these days aren't as fast as their counterparts in the IRL (Indy Racing League) but what they lack in speed they make up for with spot on turning and acceleration, the season starts in Melbourne Australia and usually ends at an Asian Track... most recently Fuji Japan
they used to race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway infield road course, but due to the tracks layout and the lack of seats on the infield the FIA suspended all racing there indefinitely, there are rumors of Formula 1 going to Elk Hart Lake Wisconsin at the Road America Circuit... but that is strictly a rumor... as an American it really pisses me off when people who are clearly British say we know nothing about Formula 1, and that we're all centered around NASCAR... not true my European friends every year i make the 500 mile commute to Montreal to watch the Canadian GP I've been a fan long enough to watch the great Ayrton Senna race. and i was alive to see him die...

Nascar Fan: who do you think the best driver that ever lived was
Formula 1 fan: Ayrton Senna
Nascar Fan: didn't he drive the #24 car before Jeff Gordon?
Formula 1 fan: *bitch slaps the NASCAR Fan*
