I second that

The slang meaning is "I agree" or "I support that".

The real meaning comes from parliamentary procedure, the way in which a group of people come together and most efficiently present and discuss possible courses of action, and make decisions. "Roberts Rules of Order" has been the standard of our government, judicial system, and formal organizations since 1876.

One member may stand and address the chairman. Once recognized, the member makes the motion: "I move that/to..." and resumes his seat. Some types of motions require another member, without rising, to second the motion: "I second the motion," or "I second it" or even just "second." Once seconded, the motion becomes a topic of organized conversation until two-thirds agree to vote. Seconds are important because some topics are not worth the group's time to discuss and a 2nd person means the topic is important to more than one person. Technically, the 2nd does not have to support the motion, they are simply agreeing that it should be a topic of discussion.

Tune in to any congressional session on CSPAN or attend your city council meetings to see Roberts Rules of Order in action.

The Temptations song "I second that emotion" is a pun on Roberts Rules of Order.
"People should stop posting images over 200kb on the front page."
"I second that."

In this slang use, it means support of the statement but it stays just a complaint. However, if the board were using real parliamentary procedures, the seconded motion would invite others to post additional comments and would remain a live topic until a vote is called.

"I move that images on the front page be limited to 200kb."
"I second that motion."
"Dial-up users are burdened with file sizes that large when twenty or thirty of them must be loaded at once."
"People can put links to bigger images instead of the whole thing messing up the way the text flows."
"Only 5% of our members are dial-up; we should be able to post whatever we want for the majority of the users who are high-speed."
(Vote: aye/yay/yes/hands or no/nay/hands)
"Yays have it, motion is carried that images on the main page be limited to 200kb or less." (This is now a rule.)

secondary suicide

Secondary suicide is when someone has given up on life. Someone who is suicidal but is to afraid or not willing to take their own life’s because of religious beliefs or because of not wanting those they love to not feel as they have did something wrong or to blame theirselves.

A secondary suicide is someone who is patiently waiting for death but not seeking it.

They have givin up on trying to make a good life they are just constantly going through the motions. But will never show or say anything about how they feel because they don’t believe they deserve to be worried about. They believe they are nothing and will never be nothing and that no one will ever love them, so they don’t trust people who claim to care/love them they believe that it is impossible for someone to genuinely care for them so they constantly feel alone, sad, usually depressed and some cases angry with the world and themselves so they do nothing but wait on death.

Usually secondary suicide follows along with depression, ptsd, and borderline personality disorder

Secondary school

Welcome to English secondary school! Here we have: cocky ass year 7 and 8's, year 9's constantly doing their makeup and gobbing off to teachers, year 10's and 11's working their asses off and finally, sixth form who have a tonne of responsibility. Note: not all schools have sixth form. Students at secondary school are usually between the ages of 11-18
We also have: Like 2 non uniform days a year (must pay to wear your own clothes), strict ass rules, crappy school meals, like 10 packs of chewing gum per person, year 11 smokers and roadmen.
Note: drinks holder = blazer pocket
Example 1:

Teacher: I will be right back class I just need to get something from the printer
*teacher walks out*
Student: PARTYYYYYYYY Wooooo
*students wonder around the classroom chatting and being loud asses*
Student: teachers coming!
Student2: everyone back to ur seats!!
Student 3: SHHHH
*teacher walks in*

Teacher: I knew I could trust you lot
Example 2:

Year 7: Ffs
Year 72: What's wrong?
Year 7: The fucken bathroom is full of Year 9's doing their makeup and messing about
Year 72: *sigh* lets go to the upstairs bathroom
Example 3:
Teacher: Ok guys today is non uniform day so gimme ur £1s to wear ur own clothes
