A new meaning to internet in the classroom

[Rye]

Lately, I've been hearing too many internet references in school.

A few weeks ago, I walk into class, and there's this giant fake tree and we all have no idea where it came from, including the teacher, but we've had it ever since. An unusual kid in my class who once random sang all of Ultimate Showdown wrote "YAOI TREE!" next to it, and now, EVERY single day since then, he's been writing "YAOI TREE!" on the board next to it. It's unusual.

Then today, I was walking down the hallway, and I hear some kid talking loudly to his friend "IF CHUCK NORRIS FALLS INTO THE WATER..." and other Chuck Norris facts I was "Chuck Norris facts in real life?! Oh GOD! TUTU!" in my mind.

Then in Art a few weeks ago, a girl was talking about the ytmnd and eBaum e-war. All these internet references in school shock me. Not to mention, everyone says "OWNED" and some people say "OH EM EFF GEE!" It's scary.

Do you guys have similar experiences in school or work? Share them.

This is why I'm glad that when I work I work from home and also glad that I was homeschooled.

Because I would be smacking every one of those people.

There's my friend Santry who says "OWNED" occasionally (usually at completely innapropriate moments), but I expect that kind of talk from him.
Other than that nothing at all.

[Faris]

Only some of my friends (most who are older) do that. I have not seen anyone else do that in my school. A friend and I had a long canversation about how bad eBaums is.

These guys in my Spanish class were singing the Llama Song! xD

My friends and I always said owned, so when the school started having LAN parties, I think the terminology rubbed off on other people.

Also, Chuck Norris was ruined because of people at school. My friends and I thought it was hilarious when we first heard about them right before break was over, but not two weeks into it afterwards friggin' everyone was quoting them. It got old fast.

Yeah, I have one.

One of these girls in my classes (she isn't the smartest), whenever she is joking, she is all like, JK... JK...

I ask her why she says it, she says its cool. Okies...

Then for some reason people are saying Uber.

Weird kids.

A lot of people say 'owned' or 'pwned' in my school.

Other than that it's 'Myspace' this and 'Myspace' that. That's about it.

Other than that it's 'Myspace' this and 'Myspace' that.

That's ALL people talk about in my school. ;___;

[Zeldy]

I sometimes have to stop myself saying "lol". Its sad, I know

[-N-]

We say owned. We're old school with the Vin Diesel > Chuck Norris thing though.

[Xaven]

Everyone is constantly talking about myspace. It's the most annoying thing since... ever. And yes, I do know people who say "Oh Em Gee!" and other lazy-typist-abbreviations.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I attempt to reference pop culture over the internet, but it's usually met with confusion by my fellow students. In my experience only a handful of people know about these things, and they're easy to spot. At least four people understand the concept of a "Yiddish Cup" in my year.

[Madame Adequate]

We say owned. We're old school with the Vin Diesel > Chuck Norris thing though.

'Old-school' means 'just plain wrong' these days, eh?

Anyway, there was a complete derth of such things at school. I remember I was like 19 before I ever heard anyone say 'Owned' out loud, aside from myself and my internets friends. It was a happy day...

A few guys in my Psychology class think Chuck Norris quotes are the funniest thing in the world, and love to quote them frequently. I'd pity them if they didn't annoy me so much.
