Schoolies as a term was first used in 1974.
Until then it had been a loose gathering of Private School graduates.
In 1974, on Hedges Avenue a meeting of Secondary School graduates convened to organise a schedule of events for the week.
These events were held at private homes plus some were held at the Old Broadbeach Hotel beer garden.
The term Schoolies was used on all flyers that promoted the events.
Tonight's Schoolies event will be held at "name and address withheld for privacy regions" .
To RSVP please leaves your name in an empty XXXX longneck on the front porch.

While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
