A very overrated school function that is basically a money maker for the school.

Usually the ones that go to prom are

1. Steady couples
2. The popular girls dating the popular guys
3. Horny creepy looking guys looking to get laid
4. A few, not too many, random couples that just want to go
5. A few people that just can't get a date but still go just to "say you been there." Usually are a little chubby, gay, or socially inept.

When you get there, you eat food in the weirdest combinations like lasagna and mashed potatoes and dance to stuff that you hear on Top 40 at Wal Mart or something off the local urban station.

A term used to reference cannabis/marijuana/weed.

A formal dance in highschool where guys spend a lot of money and take a girl somewhere nice to eat and have to come up with a creative way to ask a girl out. For example: over urban dictionary.

the main cause of a high teen pregnancy rate in the United States

a place where everyone but me gets some

To the students: an excuse for horny young teenagers to get together for a night of drinking, fornication and promiscuity, how romantic!

To business: a corporate-controlled/ promoted high school "institution" that makes the dress shops, hairdressers, flowershops, limo companies, suit rental places, etc more wealthy.

To the students who don't get to go: a lifelong regret, an occasion that fat chicks can not get a date for.Makes more people unhappy than any one other thing in highschool...

Waste. Of. Money.
