Schoolboy Error: (n.), (der. old English), A mistake, often trivial, clumsy, dimwitted or easily avoided. Generally shameful in hindsight, but without cause for embarassment, owing more to circumstances or instantaneous bad luck, rather than serious incompetence of behalf of the maker. Derived from the "trial and error" psychology present in Victorian-era English public schools.
Upon dropping the soap in the Violent Offenders' Wing of Barwon Prison, Eric cursed his schoolboy error.
Dr. Feynmann lowered his glasses as the fruit of twenty minutes labour yielded an unwanted result: E = mc^2/0. "Well fuck me", he said, turning to the class. "I seem to have made a schoolboy error."

Get the Johnson County Schools mug.Hope Christian Schools is a “christian” Elementary school, Mid School, and High School. They focus more on making you learn and memorize verses than actual useful things. They also enjoy spending the students $10,000 a year tuition on useless things like golf carts, interactive smart boards, and a shade structure that doesn’t even work instead of spending their money on things such as better teacher salary and food that doesn’t taste like it came from the toilets at Taco Bell.
