history crush

When you get a short-lived obsession with a historical figure.

I have the biggest history crush on Queen Elizabeth the First at the moment! I have read three biographies and a ton of other stuff about the Tudors!

Trap Historian

A dude who doesn’t leave his house and knows about anything that has to do with Trapping. He knows about every deal that goes on.

Ashir this kid 16-17 never leaves his house. He's a trap historian studies everything trap related. Never sold or touched drugs in his life. His mom doesn’t let him. Just loved to know all about deals business. Spends All his time online in dealer groupchats and spamming dealers pretending to be a "real n*gga" apparently his cousin actually was a big ass plug for a while. and that's why he got obsessed with the trap cuz he saw his cousin. But he's too scared to go outside and sell drugs or anything so he lives in this fantasy land. His burning curiosity of the trap consumes him, he must learn something new every day, whether it be the 8th grader buying a $15 gram of oregano, or a 6 figure deal going down a couple blocks away. He needs to know, he is the hub of all knowledge, every network leads to him, and though an unimaginable weight to bear, he stays being a trap historian, humble til the end of his days.

Historyvisonism

The practice of History Revision. Revising history to fit the politically correct popular mandate, regardless of pesky historical facts.

Example: “Historyvisonism will show, the Jews in the ‘Concentration Camps’ actually died of diseases, not gassing!” Or... “According to historyvisonism, the Twin Towers were obviously imploded by the U.S. government, Al Qaeda had nothing to do with it!”

historiography

The study of historians throwing shade upon one another's historical theories. Most often the practice involves debating the definition of words in such meticulous detail as to render the historian friendless. The practice is the most commonly cited reason for historian on historian violence.

Matt Fitzpatrick: How did the student die?
Officer: He lost the will to live after studying historiography for more then one semester.

AP US History

A course designed to cause brain implosion/explosion immediately before finals and AP test. Topics covered include everything from 1500 to today. Students sit and listen to lectures during class daydreaming about how death must be much better than AP US History. Students are expected to fail tests and teachers will give no curves. Scoring below 50% on an all multiple-choice test is common. Three-hundred or more vocabulary words are required every week or so - and if you split the work with other students, the teacher turns psychobitch about it. Busy work is common and students spend 3-4 hours per night on it, provided they want to pass the class. The average student continues the work for about 9-18 weeks then decides he/she doesn't give a damn anymore.

On May 19, 1775, Ben Franklin was wearing what color shirt?

"Today we are gathered here to remember a beloved student, whose suicide was caused by stress in AP US History..."

"We will have a test every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, a project every week, and 2-3 DBQs and essays per week."
