Mike: Did you see those ugly betty last night it sucked.
Nicole: Arf arf i love that show.
Mike: why are you arfing.
An abbreviation standing for Adolescent Rat Fart. Someone who is an ARF is annoying, EGOTISTICAL, loud-mouthed, short-tempered, immature, and speaks with an entitled, undeserved authority about subjects they know little to nothing about. They may or may not be prone to dressing in a ridiculous costume while doing so. They are likely to overstate their own abilities while downplaying the skills and accomplishments of others. If you encounter an ARF, your only hope is to run away as fast as you can, and pray they don't take chase.
A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
