The Newest Four Letter Word

Is Meep.

Yes, according to the Danvers High School administration, "meep" is now one of their expressly forbidden words. Because it is too disruptive.

On the one hand, I have to admit, I can see how a small cadre of students could make any single word into an annoying and disruptive call.

But banning the word, when even using, say, "book," in the same manner would likely be equally disruptive seems like using a shotgun to kill a single fly, while ignoring the pile of trash over there serving as a fly breeding ground.

I shall now find a way to add "meep" into future conversations.

What a silly, control freak principal.

[Zuul]

Yeah, the word isn't the issue. The disruption is the issue. The word is simply a tool of disruption and they can turn anything into another tool to replace it.

After reading the article, I think the principal might be severely lacking in common sense. You're worried about a disruption so you ban the word associated with the disruption and when the disruption fails to take place you think banning the word stopped it? More likely, the kids are trolling the school.

"Hey guys, let's start saying on Facebook that we're going to storm the school chanting 'meep'! Let's see if we can get those morons to ban the word."

Sounds like an administration that would have cracked down on book drops. One of the silly things we use to do to disrupt a class was different students would "accidentally" drop/knock their books off the desk. Repeat a dozen times and the teacher usually gets very annoyed. Coughing fits also worked. If they outlaw Meep it will encourage the kids to do something else and probably more disruptively.

Funny though, I did not think of Beaker. Meep is the sound that toy Llamas make when I am playing with my daughter with her stuff animals and I recall some furry snake that made that sound in a book by maybe Chalker.

We (St. Francis Prep kids) used to start at row one, desk one and each kid would say "chop" in order (like a wave)

The last kid would say "timber" and we would knock our books to the floor. We thought it was hilarious at the time.

Our instructor thought it was pretty funny and great that we organized it and he applauded us for having the nerve to try it in his class. He gave us a one-time pass and we never did it to him again.

We are the Knights who say Meep.

Us St. Basil's kids would start with "penis" said very softly, then the next person would say it a little louder, then the person after that a little more louder, so on and so forth until the teacher turned around.

Banning the use of a single word, with the threat of suspension, works equally as well amongst a group of adults on a message board.
