Principal: Oh, well then you'd better keep your job.

A general term for rap lyrics. From Ebonics and Iambic Pentameter, the style that Shakespeare wrote in.

The bullshit that is forced upon english students worldwide. Completly subjective, yet somehow grade-able (how?).

A play-on for "iambic pentameter," a poetry term describing the lilt of syllables in literature. Commonly used when rappers/hip-hop "artists" throw together words that rhyme, but do not form or allude to a cohesive thought.
"Hey, listen to this new song I wrote, "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.Bring me a beer, hey!'"
"Yeah, that's crap. Nice use of crap-pambic pentameter tho."
