The International Baccalaureate Program is an organization dedicated to the predation of young minds through manipulation and psycological brainwashing. It corrupts students into believing that they are part of a priviledged and elite society of more intelligent beings and raises its own prestige by forcing students to commit to nineteen hour work days, thereby causing parents to believe that the massive and unreasonable amount of travail must equate with a higher education. This in turn deters the ordinarily rational parents from protesting when asked to pay absurd amounts of money for exams that their children grow to despise. It is not until their fourth year in this fraudulent program that the participants realize that this course has no effect on the colleges to which they intend to apply. By this time, the student has already dedicated thousands of hours to this corporation (doubt not that it is indeed a corporation) and human nature insists that they complete the program.
Its long, unpronounceable and un-spellable name only adds to its supposed prominence.
In short, this institution is designed to swindle valuable money and time away from its members by exploiting competitive young adults.

1. an international educational program designed by a bunch of ambassadors looking to put their kids through hell and back...and the suckers bought it and now we're here to tell the tale...
2. Ibers: the unfortunate students of the IB...mostly intelligent young adults but overworked and burnt out by the age 16...each prepared to take over the world at their nearest convenience...sometimes used in a humerous or negative connotation, much like the term dork or freak

Also commonly defined as BS (bullshit), is an stressful program that makes the student give everything to this 2 year course. Everything means friends, social life, sleeping hours, and why not, blood. Affortunately, there isn't such a great quantity of geeks that want to enroll this program, but malicious teachers try to "pull" masses of students to this program. They give you stupid reasons like "IB makes you a world student", "you will be accepted in all universities and/or jobs in the world", "you will hsve less subjects in your career", and so on. But finishing the course and receiving the diplomma, you realize that you wasted 2 years of your life: the most important years of your whole life. In this time, you could go to parties, meet nice girls, and have sexual relations for the first time. But while you're studying it you transform into a vegetable with no friends (the only friends you have are on a Star Wars, Yu-Gi-Oh or Nintendo club), and you stay home in a Friday night thinking on a programming project or an essay. That isn't everything: you lose hours in nonsense subjects and works like TOK or the Extended Essay, but you often don't attend subjects such as Chemistry or Biology, and finishing IB you're worried and extremely stressed for studying by your own these subjects, necessary for entering college. So it's completely false that it's easier to enter college with an IB diplomma. Be careful if you want to enter this brainteasing program: you become a freak, you'll probably need glasses, and you finish being like one of the idiot guys of the movie Benchwarmers. Finally, your IB teachers use corporal mortification to stop you from leaving the program: they stress you until they're exhausted and then they talk with your parents saying that you have the intellectual capacity to continue in IB, they make you feel like a bullshit, and they close enrolling for you in non-IB courses.
- 85% of the IB students use glasses because of the time they pass in front of a computer.
- Many jobs don't want IB students because they don't know how to maintain friendship with their job mates.
- From 100 students that start IB, 70 leave the next semester.

International Baccalaureate Program. An international academic program sponsored by Satan. It hooks in overachievers with the promise of college credit, then later explains that they probably won't get it. Most people in IB become bleached by their computer screens as a result of never going outside, find it normal to go without sleep for a week, and choose to study rather than eat. In the end they all look like zombies.
IB therefore IBS (meaning I Bull Shit or Irritated Bowel Syndrome... both occur often as a result of IB)
WHY?!?!?!
WHY?!?!?!

Short for intellectual belittling syndrome. The main symptom of this syndrome is using a hostile, unprovoked thought-terminating tactic to avoid a real issue at hand in a discussion. This syndrome (also known as IBS) causes usually hostile people to try to diminish others mentally in a variety of fallacious ways and describes a common self-refuting debating tactic. This usually involves discussing a topic and telling someone else (who is perfectly qualified to discuss the issue) they "won't understand it because it's too complicated." This occurs most frequently with respect to discussions about economics, politics, nutrition, and computer programming. Connected with this syndrome is having a chip on one's shoulder and a lack of understanding of the fact that the burden of proof lies on the speaker to justify extraordinary claims.
This term was supposedly invented by Jerry Seinfeld, explaining how his Jewish relatives would come over to his house when he was a kid and try to one-up him in every way possible. At the core of it, an IBS sufferer has deep-seated insecurity issues provoking and propelling their supposed superiority.

Guy 1: Why does Allan always message me out of the blue and criticize me? I don't get it. He opens any discussion as if I'm below him, won't understand what he's talking about, and am a total idiot. Guy 2: This is unfortunately the communication style of a low net worth IBS guy. My best advice is to avoid people like that as much as you can if you plan to keep your sanity. Some people can't imagine living without trying to overcompensate in every area of life.
