detente

Detention

A special room in high school, where you go if you do something very severe,

1. Insubordination

2. Get caught cheating

3. Bad-mouthing a teacher

4. Get caught leaving the school grounds before school is over

5. Fighting with a fellow student or faculty.

The student who was in violation has to collect all their assignments from their assigned teachers, and they are not allowed to go to the cafeteria for their lunch break, lunch is to be eaten in the detention room.

I was put in detention for giving my study hall teacher the one finger-salute for being a smart-ass. That was the only time I was put in detention

Detention

When teachers don’t know where the fuck to put students after they do something wrong

Dude, I just got detention
What for?
Calling my teacher a dumbfuck after she couldn’t answer my question.
How long are you in for?
Three days.
OOF

Detention

A punishment used in school in which a student is required to show up before or after school or to stay in during recess or lunch. Detention may occur in a detention hall, on the wall, or in a classroom. As a result of receiving detention students are stripped of their undergarments and are not allowed to wear them again. As a result of detention, students are required to go commando as a sign of their punishment.

The students had detention now they do not are required to go commando.

Sexual Detention

Forced entrapment in a social setting due to the friend with whom you intend to leave disappearing for over an hour with another friend to engage in unscrupulous and unsubtle sexual shenanigans.

My ride home went off to fool around with a friend when the evening was winding up, leaving me and the friends good enough to keep me company trapped in Sexual Detention!
