Prom is an expensive dance, both money and dignity wise, that juniors and seniors are invited to in high school.Younger classmates can only go if they go with an upper classmate. Which means, if you're a younger girl... you can usually find someone, someone whom you don't like even, to take you.

If you're a younger guy... you'll lay at home on your bed on the brink of tears repeatedly playing Pearl Jam's song,"Black" while being bombarded by mental movies of your friends and especially your crush or some older girl who's caught your eye having the time of their lives' laughing and dancing with someone who isn't you. Eventually, you'll fall asleep yanking it to one of the old copies of "Playboy" you keep hidden under your mattress for desperate times like these.

Not too worry, eventually your time comes and now it's your turn to attend the event rivaled only by the Second Coming of Christ. Except now, all the hot girls are gone, probably getting their brains fucked out or puking on college campuses you tell yourself, and you are only left with the boring and uninteresting girls you grew up with. Nothing gives young men a hard on faster than remembering what Gina or Tammy looked like 4 years ago with mosquito bites for tits, braces, zits, and a mustache.

If you're in a deep committed relationship, 4 in 265 high school students are according to a recent poll, you'll get tickets for the big event and have a wonderful night and it'll be a great photo op for you and your girl's parents. Make sure to get the 12 wallet sized pics deal when they take your photo at the prom, too! You are probably going to get layed pretty well for all your effort, time, and energy.

If you aren't in a committed relationship, you can A) Find a friend who is also sexually neutral to the opposite sex like you are to attend prom with, B) Call your grandmother to see if she's doing anything that night C)Go by yourself and look like a big penis as you try to grin and give thumbs up to other guys, who actually had the balls to land a girl, while they're slow dancing D) Spend the night repeating what you did when you weren't in the right grade to attend prom except this time you'll listen to the rest of Pearl Jam's "Ten" Cd. Most of the male students course of action will be D). For female students who didn't go, they'll just cry and go to bed.

The night will end for a heroic few in hotel room beds, others will wave good-bye to their the limo driver in their rented corny ass attempt to look like James Bond suits a.k.a. tuxedos, along with the money they pissed away on a coursage, food that couldn't compete with stuff found in a McDonald's dumpster, and their manhood. They are now complete chodes for buying into women's sick delusional fantasies brought to life, which came about the first time a girl put a Barbie and a Ken doll together. But at least they have their memories that will last two weeks. Others, the ones with brains, like me, will be smart enough to avoid the whole fiasco all together and will go to work or do what they normally do when they aren't in school. That small group with their vision toward the future and what it'll bring, and their heads out of their asses, will graduate and be successful in real life.
Don't go to prom, go to a wedding reception and get the same experience.

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 place where everyone but me gets some
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.
prom by Jake February 3, 2004
(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.

fache-couture 

French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.
1. That Burberry scarf is so fache-couture.
2. That purple American Apparel hoodie is so fache-couture.

Word of the Day on October 17, 2026
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
