pretaliation

Getting your revenge in first.
Do unto him before he can do unto you, if you like.
A guy looks at you nastily across a rugby scrum; next maul, you tear his ear off, before he does the same, or worse, to you. You have completed pretaliation. Anything he does after that is retaliation, which referees always come down on harder than on the original malefactor.

"Did you see Tonto get his pretaliation in on that mean-looking winger?"
"Yeah, he'll be counting his ribs for a month! What a kick! Bet Tonto keeps out of his way for the rest of the game, though!"

precalc

a useless math class designed for students who virtually hate themselves. taught by a useless teacher with small brains and frizzy hair. the tests are impossible and the lessons are (not) taught.

standard precalc formula:

theta = cos(wtf) - sin(lol) x2

Precal Honors

n: noun (pronounced puh-ree-cal on-erz)

the leading cause of teenage suicide in America, immediately followed by avril lavigne.

AVERAGE JOE: Hey man! You want to go play a pickup soccer game later with the rest of the seniors?
PRECAL STUDENT: No. I'm in PRECAL HONORS. I'm going to attempt suicide. Maybe next year, during AP Calc...

Precalculus

Precalculus is a mathematics course typically taught in secondary schools and in colleges. Precalculus courses assume a prerequisite knowledge of concepts in intermediate algebra, and is generally designed to prepare students for the study of Calculus.

Topics that are typically covered in precalculus are exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, and trigonometric functions as well as complex numbers, polar coordinates, parametric equations, vectors. Topics in trigonometry include trigonometric graphs and identities as well as applications.

After completing Algebra 2 in 9th grade, my teacher determined that I was too smart for precalculus and therefore I enrolled in Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry.

Precalculus

You did good in algebra 2 and algebra 1 and never took geometry cause god knows why tf that is so now you go into this class as honors not knowing what the fuck precalculus even is until you step into it and within 2 weeks you're already so fucking confused on it. This class is full of angels and random numbers put together that only mathematicians are gonna need in life. It's based off of trigonometry and just full of numbers that are multiplied by itself and next thing you know after their squared you have to put em into a fraction which then turns into a square root based off a faction and then you have to find x and y.

Algebra 2 was easy af I got a 100 3rd quarter lemme

*sees precalculus* I wonder what this class is

Junior year: What.The.Fuck.
