WHAT: A pointless event characterized by loud, slutty cheerleaders yelling at you to support your school's team, General insanity, a bunch of jocks acting like assholes yelling to you about how they'll kick the other team's ass when in the end they get their asses handed to them on a silver plate, loud and eardrum-rupturing techno/motivational music

WHEN: Scheduled by the principal or whenever your team has a game

WHY: Motivation(?), To be a complete waste of time

What to do in this situation: Skip/ditch the pep rally entirely, attend and fall asleep, ask to use the facilities and don't return, visit the Christian cult at the back of your school (yes, there's a Christian cult at the back of your school)

An event where students go to "support" a school team (usually the football team) that probably sucks and show "school spirit", even if the school has low SAT scores, bad drug problems, etc.. Most of the time, pep rallies are mandatory and are very loud. They are hated by emos, goths, mostly everyone in general, and are loved by preps.

Partying, then recuperating, then partying again... over and over and over again!

Aubrey Huff's (San Francisco Giants baseball player) lucky red thong (for men).

Originally a gag gift from his wife, he wore it during the final months of the season, leading up to a World Series victory.

Really, it is a play on rally hats and the rally monkey.

A large group of brainwashed fanatics that will follow the lead of their head honcho, regardless of how insanely radical his/her opinions are.

(noun) gathering of people who seek to indoctrinate others with hate speech under the guise of patriotism. These are a typical precursor to Pogroms.

An utterly pointless gathering (often of High School students) in which the participants scream and shout until their vocal cords are scarred,for the purpose of "supporting the team." It is an attempt to make people happy about the backwards, stone age social system that still permeates our society, in which the biggest and strongest still remain on top, whilst those that have even the barest hint of intellect (read: nerd, geek, emo) are kept in the lower echelons in spite of the fact that it is them that drive society forward.
