"Prom"- n - Not to be confused with prom, "prom is a gathering of people who are purposely not attending prom for various amounts of reasons including, not having dates, not wanting to dance, not having the money, or thinking prom is dumb. "Prom" usually consists of eating alot of food, playing board games, and watching either violent movies, or movies with couples in them that are easy to make fun of such as temporary examples such as Kirsten Dunste and Toby McGuire or historical examples such as Romeo and Juliette. "Prom" typically ends with a sleep over for the boys and a departure for the girls at a designated time in the evening.
1.) I do not have a date to prom so I think will organize a "prom" and invite some friends over.

2.) "Prom" is a chance for those who do not want to got to prom to get together and feel included without spending alot of money.

A very overrated school function that is basically a money maker for the school.

Usually the ones that go to prom are

1. Steady couples
2. The popular girls dating the popular guys
3. Horny creepy looking guys looking to get laid
4. A few, not too many, random couples that just want to go
5. A few people that just can't get a date but still go just to "say you been there." Usually are a little chubby, gay, or socially inept.

When you get there, you eat food in the weirdest combinations like lasagna and mashed potatoes and dance to stuff that you hear on Top 40 at Wal Mart or something off the local urban station.
Prom is overated; I rather spend my money on something more important, my college education.

A formal dance in highschool where guys spend a lot of money and take a girl somewhere nice to eat and have to come up with a creative way to ask a girl out. For example: over urban dictionary.

prom by Hornball April 30, 2004
To the students: an excuse for horny young teenagers to get together for a night of drinking, fornication and promiscuity, how romantic!

To business: a corporate-controlled/ promoted high school "institution" that makes the dress shops, hairdressers, flowershops, limo companies, suit rental places, etc more wealthy.

To the students who don't get to go: a lifelong regret, an occasion that fat chicks can not get a date for.Makes more people unhappy than any one other thing in highschool...
I borrowed Dad's car, then spent $400 on renting a suit, buying flowers, tickets to the prom, some liquor and a locket on a chain for her. Oh, and condoms. She bought a dress, got her hair and 20 nails done, bought shoes,tear-off underwear,a purse, and got a horrendous period an hour before midnight.
So she gave me a blowjob just like any other date, and she's still a virgin.

(noun) formal dance, usually in the springtime.

for high school juniors and seniors, and the occasional underclassman who gets asked by a desperate upperclassman.

slightly overrated.

some may experience a 'creative' way of being asked to the dance.
'creative' way of asking: someone painting 'PROM?' on the hood of your brand new car with paint that actually doesn't wash off. you deny him, but take the homemade cookies he made for you, because shit, your car is fucked.
