trivial matters

Trivial Matters: Things in life that have almost no value. A lot of people care too much about these things and some use these matters against others to boost their self esteem.
Mary: Karla misspelled you're on Facebook. That means she is stupid and I am better than her.
Amy: You should not judge people on trivial matters. She is probably very smart in her own way and that could have been a typo. It's Facebook! Chill out and stop caring about stupid stuff.

Trivia Night

A trivia night is a large group event, usually staged to benefit a charitable cause or organization.

During a trivia night, a master of ceremonies reads trivia questions split up into different categories or rounds. The questions are then answered by different groups of people in an audience. These groups, also known as "teams" or "tables," typically consist of six to 12 people who have paid an admission fee to participate. At the end of each round, a representative from each team turns in its answers to a panel of judges who then calculate the scores for each team. The teams compete against one another with the top two or three teams receiving prizes.

Trivia nights are held throughout the United States, but are particularly popular in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area, where upwards of 30 trivia nights occur on any given weekend.

Trevian (updated)

A Trevian is quite simply someone who goes to New Trier, but lives up to all the stereotypes. Wether it be "vape messiah", drug dealer, imbecile, white chick who blasts bad rap music from her Range Rover while her clique is in the back, etc. Trevians are notoriously rich and obnoxious. I mean really, the movie "Mean Girls" was based on our school. The lesson here is never cross paths with a Trevian.
Trevian (updated):
Dude why are these Trevians even here? They're so annoying. Thank god I'm not a Trevian.
