Acronym that originated in the 1950's at MIT meaning "I Hate This Fucking Place". Adopted by attendees of numerous schools afterwards; most notably by the three US service academies, where the letters find their way into not only conversation, but a great deal of graffiti-like uses and spirit missions, or both. Most cadets/midshipmen tend to believe their school (West Point, Annapolis, or USAFA) was the one to originate the term.

I need to say this. I realized that i love you because I never been so depressed before. You are everything to me and that's why I blush. I hate the fact that you are with her but if you are happy, its fine. I don't want to break you guys up, and I don't want to come off as crazy, but i feel like I have nothing anymore. I am sorry if I screwed up in the past, and I am sorry that I did so many pranks on you and got into those fights with you. I regret it. And I know I will probably not have a chance with you ever again, but please tell me what your honest opinion about all of this is.
