Person 1: “Hey man, do you watch anime?”

Get the first great-cousin-nephewmug. The stare done by students on the first day of school. It is defined by looking at a wall for more then 60 seconds on the first day of school. This is when students build the mental strength to get through the next 9 months of waking up at 6 am and spending hours on homework.
