A statement made by a teacher or college professor signifying that the allotted time for taking a test or exam has run out and all students must cease writing answers. In some cases, continuing to write even after being told "pencils down" may result in an automatic failure of the test.
Goofy: *daydreams and draws on test paper*
Professor: Pencils down!

Goofy: Wait a minute. I'm not finished! I'm......
Professor: Over Mr. Goof.

Person 1: "We are going to the beach for summer break."
Person 2: "That's great! I was also thinking we could stop at my parents house . . ."
Person 3: "And then we can go to our sorority sisters place for a visit . . ."
Person 1: "Whoa! All Pencils Down! The beach is our ONLY summer break destination."

This here is the phrase Satan said when God and all his angels tried to stop him. this is the phrase that echoes through hell over the screams of all villains. This is the phrase that had the dinosaurs go extinct. This here, this very phrase, is the reason people cannot hear such high frequencies.
At one point in everybody's life, someone will experience the "pens pencils down". It is just like chickenpox, and whether or not you get it when your in a grade 8 math class with a teacher who's one goal is the cause you pain, you will get it at some point. Beware of this, because this in itself is a rite of passage. This in itself will cause you nightmares and pain beyond understanding. This is hell.
This phrase will catch you completely by surprise, in a time where you think there will be no need for quiet. However, as I have learned, there always is a lead. Be careful my good friends, and expect the unexpected because if you are not ready like I was, you will know the pain and suffering I went through.

A Pencil in the hallway is when a man with a small to average sized penis engages in intercourse with a woman with a loose vagina.
"After she had her fifth kid, intercourse to her husband was like throwing a pencil down a hallway."

The deafening phrase used in the torturous chambers of a math class. This phrase is said while banging on the desk with a ruler, preferably breaking it, simply for the satisfaction gained from your pain. There is no annoyance like this one, as this will happen at any sudden moment. There is no reason behind why it is said, or if it is for specific situations. However all I know is after experiencing this, you will see the world for what it truly is. Beware.
Class: *Completely silent*
Teacher: *suddenly banging ruler on desk* PENS PENCILS DOWN
Class: *sobbing* Ms please, we are doing nothing wrong...
*ruler shatters*
Teacher: PENS PENCILS DOWN
Class: *dies*
