Dougherty Valley High School
A school obsessed with grades, AP classes, honor classes, and majority Asian. Football team sucks and never wins, but god damn their badminton team and girls tennis team are on fire! You can walk down the hallway and hear 5 different conversations about classes, particularly AP and honor classes. If you haven't skipped a grade of math at DVHS, you sure as hell better be taking the honors of AP level of your "on level" math class to redeem yourself. Majority of the school is aiming to be a doctor or some kind of engineer. Majority of school hates being at Dougherty, and wishes for a less competitive school. Added bonus, your social status at school is determined by a simple decision: Grades vs Social Life, one puts you in the academic arena with no social life, the other puts you in the social hierarchy practiced by other schools where you will never be accepted as an equal in any AP or honor class by the other academic oriented kids.

A school that is complete shit as teaching (white) kids and anyone who is somewhat normal. The PE teachers are pedos. Everyone's antisocial or a sjw and nobody can take anyone else who doesn't look ASIAN or INDIAN.

Dougherty Valley High School
A school that is only filled with ASIANs and INDIANs. Everyone teaches them selves and the schools teachers get credit. The (white) kids who don't choose to practice violin and have no social life and teach themselves what the teachers should be teaching, look stupid. Most of the students are antisocial and are rude as fuck. If you have a decision of going to anyother school and Dougherty.... DONT GO TO DOUGHERTY.

womp
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
