Although these crazy teens were lovin the lingo (mostly because they thought they were cursing at us) there are some people who are against the words and phrases from our youth. Another story to get my point across: a long time ago in a little spring break haven called St George I was with my friends cruisin boulevard on our way to get some lunch. A girl that I will refer to as "chili cheese dog" was sitting in the back seat with us. We passed a tennis court and I told one of the guys that the next day we needed to play tennis so I could "dom" him. Out of nowhere chili cheese dog came undone and started yelling at me about how I need to "grow up and stop using that immature lingo!" .. The person driving slammed on the brakes, my friend in the drivers seat turned his iPod to "Why don't you get a job" by the Offspring, and by the third line in the song that chili cheese dog was out of the car waiting for another ride. Google the lyrics if you have any questions.
So the reason I use this story is to show that some people aren't down with lingo of our peers. Not only that but a lot of people weren't down with high school in general. We all know the type. They want to get as far away from their hometown as soon as possible. When there was a facebook event posted for our 5 year reunion recently I felt like I was reading the dialogue on Dr. Phil. Some of these people have issues.
I think we can assume that one of the following reasons is fueling this hatred these people have for our beloved World Class high school experience:
1: They had to park on the "band" side of the parking lot
2: They didn't take Gowan's floral design class (or any Gowan's class)
3: They never stepped a foot into Gandolfo's during an assembly
4: They never got a glimpse of Schoon's wife
5: They lost in an arm wrestle to Moe
6: They took chorus
7: They got LSAL'd by Tim Garlick
8: They took Mrs Daltons class seriously
9: They thought the winner of Prom royalty could use it on their transcript
10: They were scarred by C Barks potty mouth
I could keep going but I'll let you finish the list in your spare time. It just comes down to the fact that a lot of noobs look back with bitterness at high school cuz they think that it was ruined for them by other people. Well I say that it's your own fault if you didn't like high school and you have no one to blame but yourself. If you don't think it's possible to have had a good time and make good memories in high school just ask Kelsey Yeager.. Or her daughter.. I mean niece.
