Lacrosse is a trendy sport that seems to have been idolized by many in the past 5 years. It appears to be a rather preppy sport, although I am not the best judge for that.
1)Honestly, I first heard of Lacrosse two years ago, when someone in my social studies class made a Lacrosse stick as part of a Native American research project.
2)The preppily-dressed senior had to go to her Honda to retrieve the lacrosse stick she forgot.

A Poem about Poetry in Iambic Tetrameter
The Iamb! the Trochee! can't you see
they're different kinds of poetry
Oh no, you say, they're types of verse.
So I was cursed until the end
Oh, God! Oh, Friend, can you help me
Release myself from agony?

1. Crazy latin literary/art term for a reminder of death. Memento Mori is often seen in 17th century Dutch paintings.
2. The names of two of the best megawads ever created for DooM II.

1. If you look at that painting sideways, you'll see a memento mori.
2. After spending a week beating the expertly-crafted levels of Memento Mori II, I was blown away. Every other DooM WAD that followed was bland.

Proof of America's sexist bias. Although it's obviously designed to address the male sex, this phrase is used just as often by girls between girls.
After leaving band class every day, I would always hear the same group of girls address one another: "hey, you guys, listen." I find it ironic there was not a single guy in their midst.

1. Jon is the true individual. He says so many times until it becomes a catchphrase, "I don't care what the 'others' think about my actions" - and his actions (often crude and immature) support that phrase.
2. My DNA is probably truly individual.

The trash gnome is the selected person, out of a group that sits together for lunch, that throws everyone's trash away. Currently an in-joke between a few people... you know who you are.
The position of Trash Gnome should be considered as a trade-off; you have the Holy Privelege of eating lunch with us (although we hate you!) provided that you throw out all our trash.
Also known as Trash Fairy, Trash Elf, Trash Nazi.

Me: Shivam, YOU'RE the trash gnome! <a strong-handed push of the large trash can commonly found in our school>
Him: No, I don't want to be the trash gnome <push of trash can back to me> - now give me a dollar or you get ketchup all over yourself.
