summer English homework

The epitome of uselessness in which English teachers are pressured by their social studies, science or math counterparts to hand out some form of quantified work over the summer, usually in the form of drawing, or as they put it, "visual response." It typically does not require reading the actual book but spending a few minutes glancing over Sparknotes or Shmoop may turn out to work to the student's benefit. Despite the uselessness and the lack of effort that it requires (or generates from students, for that matter), English teachers tend to grade rather harshly and criticize a student's artistic capabilities to send the message to future students that summer English homework should emulate the quality of works by Monet, Gogh, or da Vinci.
I usually put off my summer English homework to the last day because it takes less than an hour to finish it.

Standard English

Standard English is one of three forms: Proper English, Standard English, and Common English. Until very recently, Standard English encompassed all of normally used English, however, as many forms of communicating on the internet have separated away from normal use, many of the less formal grammar styles and uses (i.e. caps lock, texting abbreviations, etc.) have been classified as Common English. However, any conversation you have with a pre-Millennial will use Standard English, even if it's "Hey, how's it going?" If you are talking to a superior, you will also be using Standard English.

English Rugby

One of the most boring games you will ever watch, this would generally consist of England kicking the ball more times than you would see a tennis ball being hit in Wimbledon, this is also followed by no tries being scored and the constant attempts for a drop kick between the posts (generally by Wilkinson) or England winning the game by being awarded a penalty by the opposition at the last minute.

american english

It may be a bastardization of English-English, but the majority of English speakers live in America. If you went the majority, American English is the proper form of English.
There are some 508 million English speakers in the world, and some 280 million of them live in the USA.

English Banger

1. British-style pork sausages.

2. A penis.
Once I had a girl dust my English Banger with yayo before receiving fellatio from her, allowing us to continue shagging for hours beyond the point when I would normally spluge. Cocaine + KY = best night of my life.

If only that story was true...
