Dickerson Middle School 

"Hello everyone. Here at Dickerson, we take pride in torturing our students with endless amount for bookwork, homework, classwork, tests, and more work! After you complete a project, you will immediately be given another so that you have no chance to go home and have fun. Our main goal here is to be the number #1 in the state. Luckily, not only destroying our student's lives have helped, but the million dollars all of the parents of the rich kids donate every month! Excuse me, I must yell at a student for having their skirt over an inch above their knee -"

*Innocent Asian girl with glasses walks by carrying textbooks in a skirt that an inch and two centimeters above her knees*

"HEY YOU! CHANGE! THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!"

"But... but... *bursts into tears* I'm wearing this outfit because after school I have to go to a funeral. My grandpa died of cancer two days ago...""

"Yeah yeah, I don't care! Go change, b*tch!"

*Little Asian girl runs away with tears streaming down her face*

"As I was saying... Dickerson Middle School is a wonderful school to go to. We deprive you your freedom of speech and to choose where you sit, where your locker is, what your elections are, even where you breathe! Recently we added this new rule: Whether you're in the sixth, seventh, or eighth grade, you must ALL walk in a neat, orderly line! Yes, just like you did in third grade! Now I must go yell at some more children for not turning in their overdue library books. Goodbye!"
Girl 1: "God I hate Dickerson Middle School."

Girl 2: "I know right?! They now even make us walk in lines!"

Mrs. Brink: "GIRLS! YOU ARE NOT SILENT AND WALKING IN A LINE! IN MY OFFICE NOW!"

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
