A type of writing AP Language and Composition teachers like to ask you to do for a book during summer. SOAPS stands for subject, occasion, audience, purpose, and speaker.

Subject - What is this about?

Occasion- What happened to cause this to be said/written? Why was it recorded?

Audience- Who is the intended audience?

Purpose- Why was this spoken/written? What purpose does it serve?

Speaker- Who is the speaker or author?

All in all, SOAPS gives students hell.

Joe: DAMN SOAPS!!!!

A brand of sneaker with a removable slick plastic plate in the soles, under the arch of the foot. The plate enabled the wearer to grind on rails and edges without the aid of skates or a board. Style-wise, they tended to be pretty chunky looking, similar to skate shoes, but were probably not as comfortible. They were cool for only a few months in 1998-99, but were popular enough to cause concern among parents and schools. Succeeded by Heelys a couple years later, which had heel-mounted weels and were uglier and even less comfortible. Soaps is now a defunct maker.
Haha, my cousin saved up for a vintage pair of Soaps and broke his jaw the first week after he got 'em!
