Kettering high school 

This place is absolute ass. With all the emo and furries walking around you feel like your in a goth shop and with the people who vape you can’t even go to the bathroom cause half of them are closed. The new principal is annoying too with the no phones in class policy.

Kettering 

When two people are arguing the same side of a point but continue arguing.
You guys are just kettering, shut up so I can get some sleep.

Kettering Goggles 

A reference to the fact that because there are so few girls at Kettering University, the few (generally unattractive) girls that there are seem much more attractive than they actually are. Similar to beer goggles.
Kettering Student: "Hey dude, check out that chick. She's a dime."
U of M Flint Student: "No man, she's ugly, take off your Kettering Goggles."

Kettering Fairmont High School 

A local high school in Kettering, Ohio. Students there are known for their losing football team, winning marching band, and pregnant freshmen. Underneath all of the drama, however, you can find some pretty amazing people and friends that will have your back whenever, wherever.
I hope she doesn't make me attend Kettering Fairmont High School...
