Professional Performing Arts School  

Also known as P.P.A.S. - One of New York City's finest performing arts high schools. Located somewhere between Times Square and Hell's kitchen...unfortunately people don't know too much about it because it's so small but most of the kids seem to enjoy their art when compared to other "egotistical" Perf. arts schools.

Professional Performing Arts School

Certain kids like to think of the school as one big family...that's bull shit. Certainly not your "avg." american school. Most kids hang out with their majors. Majority is cool though. MAD FEMALES, hot nd not hot, then the males are either gay or straight.
-You've Got:
-Drama majors: (white+spanish+black...sorta diverse) known as the "CHILL" kids of the school not on edge or uptight. Usually funny, weird, intellectual(to some extent), stoners who get trashed, and deushy-ish but MAD ENTERTAINING. Drama is the more modest major and deserve more attn. but at least they get attention later on in life, (movies and plays DUH)

- Vocal (90%black 10%other)..if ur not blak nd soulful u will become so. Vocal stays with vocal, there either mad "soulful" and LOUD or like sorta ghetto in a weird way. They are LOUD and ALWAYS harmonizing or SINGING when you TRY TO FOCUS. Some are inconsiderate but most are very respectful. They all say “Yazz(yes) then snap or fierceeee”.

-Dance: split into 2 programs (90% female 8% gay dudes 2%straight dudes). ALVIN AILEY: biggest dance dept. Seems to be pretty diverse. Like vocal they are loud but differ b/c plenty are egotistical and they think their hard lmao (remember your dancers and not fighters). There’s a few sweet ones and plenty of bitches. Ailey girls are pretty much all BANGIN. I don't know how the straight Ailey guys don’t pop boners during class. Then you have School of American Ballet, aka S.A.B. (95% white female and 5% white male...at least 1% other ethnicity) Mostly Tall and skinny females who walk with there feet out and drink SMART WATER and SMART WATER ONLY. There all freakishly smart…(your ideal angel students). They stick together and don't mix with other majors. Then ABT, there's like 3 kids in that major... What is that? haha

Musical Theatre: PREPPY!(most)Alot are really cool but then you get the really snobby ones. Like vocal THEY CONSTANTLY SING, but gay broadway songs. Often you will take a Rubin test and hear humming from the musical WICKED and then fail. They dress Abercrombie-ish and shop at urban outfitters and then tell people they shop at TRASH IN VAUDEVILLE. These kids often have a starbuck's at their desks and smoke tree with drama kids alot of the time. A lot of MT kids are pretty well off and host the few parties that happen at PPAS. *well black vocal nd ailey girls throw parties too but there really diff. from drama/mt/tech parties*

Tech: About 1% of technical theatre is there to keep on pursuing their major. 99% of the techies are there because they hated there major so they switched out. Pretty ppl who enter tech now dress kinda shitty because they are now surprised that it requires dirty work.

The green emporium is the bomb and kids from the 99’ even know CHARLIE!
The school can get dissapointing however when kids lose interest in their majors thanks to peer pressure and A$$hole teachers. *But hey most of us all some how make it in any field of choice* PPAS in the end stays united for about 5 minutes which aint bad.
*MIDTOWN WEST NEEDS TO BE REMOVED!*
WE DO NOT STAND STRONG INTELLECTUALLY BUT ARTS-WISE PPAS IS TOUGH as HELL!

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
