i wish you were a derivative

The funniest pick up line ever made. It works really well, as I've used it on several occasions. The most notable of which was when i got with this really hot chick named Steve.

I wish you were a derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.

Derivative

An insipid part of Calculus that most definitely should NOT be looked at during the summer. INTEGRAL to achieving a 5 on the AP Calculus 1 exam, this term is most commonly used by nerds of the highest degree. Beware.

I damn near had an orgasm once I found the derivative of the equation. Heaven on Earth!

Derivative

1. The equation of the slope of a line, found by taking the limit as "h" approches 0 of the quantity "f(x + h) - f(x)" devided by "h." It was developed simultaniously by two european guys with funny names.

2. One of the few torture devices still in common use in "civilization."

1. If "f(x)" = "y" = "x^2 + 5x + 3" then it's derivative, "f'(x)" or "dy/dx" is "2x + 5"

2. Fuck my math teacher, if he gives us any more calculus homework I am going to diferentiate my foot up his ass!

derivative

Term used by musical elitists to down bands for having any arbitrary similarities to any bands from yesteryear. Frequently used in the comments section of music videos hosted on YouTube by people who have nothing better to do in their lives than argue on the interweb
