The Flow 

A hairstyle that's very popular for male hockey players. The flow is a hairstyle that involves growing it down to the neck, tucking it behind your ears, then greasing it to the extreme. Sometimes a baseball cap is put on top, to add to the grease. While some girls and boys find it attractive, most agree it is disgusting and should be banned.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
