High Beta Alertness 

A state of high anxiety with people prone with Autism or very sensitive to sound, which is caused by abnormally high frequency brain waves. During high beta alertness, the person may become perceptive enough to hear their own brain waves, and only the sound of either a low frequency, or a calming voice may take them out of this state of anxiety. It can sometimes not be caused by an anxious episode, but it can make a person feel anxious, since in a quiet environment the high pitch humming akin to Tinnitus can be heard at times.
Doc, I am hearing this weird ringing in my ears , every time I get stressed out when I am in a quiet room.

Your EEG scan showed that you have have High Beta Alertness by since your ears are really perceptive due to your hyper-sensitive hearing and your EEG shows that the frequencies inside your head are loud enough for your Cochlea to pick up, since your Cochlea is very sensitive to high pitch sound and low pitch sound, so therefore you can hear form -20DB to over 25,000 DB as your hearing sensitivity is off the charts!

Albert Einstein High School 

Located in Kensington, Maryland, Einstein High is rich in opposites. It's like Freaks and Geeks. There are the poor Newport Mill kids, the IB kids, the few rich wannabes (to be avoided), and the VAC/theatre kids (you might think they're cool, but be careful: most of them are into Homestuck). 50% of the students at Einstein are Hispanic and all the white kids think that's a real hoot.

Einstein is nicknamed "Crimestein" because of a few incidents that happened six years ago. It's pretty boring now.

To incoming freshmen: Mrs. Carballo's class is hell and it will make you cry. Also, don't think you'll be the only one who takes all the tough classes-- every white kid does.

Oh, and you can't wear hats.
8th grader: I'm so excited to go to Albert Einstein High School next year!
High school student: Oh, you mean Crimestein?

Albert Einstein High School (AEHS)

Albert Gallatin Area Senior High School 

A high school serving the Georges-German townships in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. One of the worst places in the known universe. Populated by crackheads, criminals, thugs, bad management, drug dealers, inefficient staff members, and upper management that only cares about money, this school is a 4 year prison sentence for anyone who goes there. The bathrooms are never cleaned, drug deals are talked about, and done in the open, 99% of the school is addicted to weed at the very least. The staff would rather tell parents how much they care about keeping students educated and safe, and then turn around and line their own pockets with those lies. Recently had many cutbacks, probably due to the expensive renovation of their football field that was in no need of renovation whatsoever. There are good teachers, but they are usually setback by upper management, and the bad ones don't actually teach anything useful. A meme related to this school, "Bottom 10 percent", is related to staff that would rather chide students then fix the actual problems with the place.

Dude 1: "Run away now as fast as you can."

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
