Dead Poet's Society

A movie/book about a group of rich and extremely smart boys who have been taught all their lives that free-thinking is bad and that you should just conform and be like everyone elce. Until one day a man named John Keating comes in and teaches them English in a way that only allows free-thinking. He teaches the boy about perspective and how to find there voice and express there opinions. But sadly not all the boy in his class are able to do so. (See Neil Perry.)

The movie Dead Poet's Society is a great movie to learn about being yourself.

wax-poetic

To "wax poetic" means to become increasingly verbose and romantic in speech. To become more and more like a poem.

"Wax" = increase, "wane" = decrease.

It has nothing to do with vinyl records and bullshit hip-hop, "yo."

"Not to wax-poetic, but your eyes glimmer like the ocean on a summer evening..."

Shithouse Poet

When you think you have grown out of laughing at things on bathroom walls, then are not only laughing about the thought, but are truly inspired to write something.

I was waiting, ass clenched in my truck while getting unloaded

Now I'm thanking god for this outhouse or my ass would have exploded

*example of what a Shithouse Poet would write

shithouse poet

1. One who speaks made up poetry to you while you are sitting in the bathroom.
2. One who writes made up poetry on the bathroom walls.

I am the shithouse poet, as if you didn't know it... I came here to sit and think, but alas all i've done is shit and stink.

wax poetic

To speak or write about something in a highly eloquent or verbose manner. Comes from "wax" meaning "grow" or "become" as in the waxing and waning of the moon, thus "to wax poetic" is equivalent to "to grow poetic." Thus "to wax poetically" doesn't really make sense, as it would mean "to grow poetically," which isn't the same as "to grow poetic."

All you can do is wax poetic on your new computer -- let me talk for a change!
