Schaeffer Academy

A private, classical christian school in Minnesota. Students that attend Schaeffer are often called Schaefferites and know each other fairly well. Schaefferites are defined by their ability to write, but not speak Latin fluently. This is considered a useless skill by most within the school. The school forces students to wear uniforms, but allows the occasional mufti (this is a highly celebrated and anticipated event) day. Students who graduate from Schaeffer will for certain know these five things:

1. The yearbook password for the computer lab

2. Every student and their cousin's name

3. The Apostle's Creed

4. Who Francis Schaeffer is

5. Notitia, Assensus, Fiducia

To reprimand students, teachers will give out demerits. This is a pointless piece of paper de- meriting the students actions. No one cares about them, well, except for a few people.

Finally, three things Schaeffer graduates will never understand are...
1. Why we can't chew gum.

2. What white rabbit really means and why we always say it...
3. Why we can't have our end of the year water fight anymore.

*Non schaefferites will often spell Schaeffer like Shaffer or schaffer...this is how you spot a wannabe.

I learned Latin at Schaeffer Academy for 6 years, and I still can't speak it!

Schaffer Neck

Medical condition of the neck resulting from prolonged periods of extreme headbanging. Symptoms include the inability to turn your head, extreme pain when nodding and occasional bleeding from the neck. Can result in surgery. Named after the first true victim, Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth

I think that Iced Earth gig gave me a bad case of Schaffer Neck.

My health insurance claim was denied because they said Schaffer Neck was a pre-existing condition.

schlieffen plan

The Schlieffen Plan, the German General Staff's overall strategic blueprint for victory on the western front against France in the years up to 1914, takes its name from its author, Alfred Graf von Schlieffen. In essence it envisaged a rapid German mobilisation, disregard of Luxembourg, Belgian and Dutch neutrality, and the overwhelming sweep of German armies through Belgium southwards in the back of the French defences pivoting on weakly-held left-wing positions in the province ofAlsace-Lorraine. Paris was not to be taken but to be by-passed in the east. The plans intention was not to conquer cities or industry in order to weaken the French war efforts - the plan was to capture most of the French army and to force France to surrender. Following the speedy defeat of France, von Schlieffen envisaged switching German concentrations to the Eastern Front.

Schlieffen regularly updated details of his master plan as a labour of love even after his retirement from the General Staff in 1905, but his successor, Helmuth von Moltke (the younger) weakened the plan's execution in 1914 at the beginning of World War I, avoiding invading the Netherlands, weakening the German right wing and maintaining forces in the threatened East Prussia. Stubborn French resistance also contributed to the plan's failure in 1914. However, a modified form of Schlieffen's concept proved effective over the same terrain in the defeat of France in 1940 (Manstein's Sichelschnitt).

schleff

n. Someone who possesses an alarming abundance of extraordinarily lame ideas and cultivates them into actions. Although these folk usually have no motive or reasoning for their unapologetic ignorance, some use these actions for personal gain...like to reach a level of awesomeness that would otherwise be unattainable, and for the most part will remain so.

Biscuits: I heard Matt bought a camaro just to join the IROC club.
Tina: Did he really??
Biscuits: Yea, but the ass-clown bought an RS instead of a z28!
Tina: HAHAHA, he is such a schleff!

paul schaffer

is what you call someone who constantly interrupts you when you are trying to be funny.

the bald band-leader on the 'late show with david letterman' schaffer wrote the 1983 hit 'it's raining men' but is perhaps most famous for the worst segment on Letterman; 'stump the band'

Schaffer also looks like the worm in tim burtons 1996 version of 'james and the giant peach'

"shut up paul schaffer - you're ruining my act"

"someone turn of paul schaffers mike will ya"
