Back of the room Boys

The group of boys that is always present in the rear of every high school classroom. Usually consists of at least 3, but can be a bigger group. There's typically the group leader, who tells the best jokes, and who causes the most chaos during class. There's also the team player, who takes notes and sometimes brings food for the group; playing a crucial role as the "support member" of the group. This allows other group members to goof off, knowing that the team player has their back later on when they're doing homework or studying. The remaining member(s) are the munchers, who consume vast quantities of food during their occupation, even if they aren't hungry. This is usually done in an attempt to piss off the teacher, or to get a few good natured laughs from their classmates. Sometimes they also provide "belching fire" to distract the teacher so other members can engage in hooligan behavior, such as hitting a vape under the desk, or shooting spitballs at the ceiling.

The Back of the Room Boys 

Group of boys common in most classroom settings, usually consisting of 3, but can be more. They take up residence in the rear of a classroom; usually by the heating unit or a dusty bookshelf/filing cabinet. They use this area as their base of operations, as it's really easy to get away with goofing off in class. Some behaviors they take part in include, (but aren't limited to) consuming vast quantities of food, (sometimes for the soul purpose of making loud crunching sounds to piss off their classmates), burping really loud, kicking others seats, shooting volleys of spitballs, telling dirty jokes, destruction of school-owned property and overall being an absolute distraction to the current lesson at hand. Sometimes the group will migrate out of their dugout to the bathroom, where they can continue their bad behavior in a more private setting; such as vaping, or taking a monster shit in the urinal.

Goddammit. The back of the room boys are at it again.

Teacher: "Who was that? No seriously. Whoever did that is getting detention."

Teachers pet: "It was Kyle."

Teacher: "thank you, Jeffrey. As for you Kyle, I sentence you to the gulag! And that goes for the rest of you back of the room hooligans!"

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
