1. A time in life everyone tries to forget. It usually involves acting totally different than you actually are. Sometimes people think they have superpowers or think that they are super cool. No matter what case of 8th grade syndrome it is, people will never want to remember it.
Guy: Remember back when you had eighth grade syndrome you thought you had superpowers and were destined to save the world.
Guy 2: I was trying to forget those dark times.

The grading scale for an Asian student is typically different from that of the average American student.
When you're a normal American:
A: Stands for "AWESOME" you're doing great.
B: Above average, you're still doing good
C: Average.. you could be doing better, but you're slacking
D: Below average, you're slipping, but you can still make it up is you try
F: Well, you just failed, didn't you. No need to really explain that.
---
Now, when you're ASIAN, it's A LOT different. "A" no longer stands for "awesome" anymore.
A : stands for "average" - anything below that is pretty unacceptable to your parents.
B : stands for "bad" - you're already at a below average cause all the other Asians and getting A's!
C : stands for "crap" - you're doing terrible and your parents will be pissed. They'll probably spank you or ground you, and you'll be sent to your room without dinner that night. If you DO have dinner that night, the topic to be discussed at the table is how disappointed everyone everyone is with you. This will be followed by comparisons to you and your successful siblings, cousins or fellow Asian students. That's right, your parents know every other Asian kid in your school even if you aren't friends with them. That's because your parents are friends with theirs and their parents like to brag. Bastards.
D : stands for "death" - your parents will threaten to kill you. They will not hesitate to beat the crap outta you, and when they're tired, they'll send you to your room, but once they've regained their energy they'll go into your and continue to yell and insult you. They'll take away your things (laptop, games mp3, phone, ect.) and even if pull up your grades by the next semester, you won't get them back until the semester after that. Oh yeah, you will be labeled as an embarrassment.
F : stands for "FUCKED!" Not ONLY will your parents beat the shit outta you, they'll probably make a call to your relatives in (china, korea, philippines, etc, where ever they're from) and start looking for plane tickets online. That's right, you will be sent out of the country cause your parents can't even stand to look at you anymore.
i got terrible grades and actually did fail a couple classes, but luckily i never got sent away T_T.
Asian: shit, my grades suck this semester
Friend: what are you talking about? You got A's, B's, and a C.
Asian: yeah, but on the asian grading scale that means I'll get about 2 and a half beatings and I probably won't be able to see daylight on the weekends...

When an entire class is banned from fieldtrips. Usually involves alot of weed hidden in guitars, about 3 bottles of vodka being chucked into a nearby, several kids drunk in the hallways at about 11pm and one of them snitching and getting away with nothing bcs her uncle owns the school.
Did you hear? Gialamas talked to the whole grade.
Yeah, they were 10th Grade Tripped.
Yikes.
A Grade so bad you turn it over right when the teacher hands you your paper.
Upside down grades tend to happen only with people who have their identity in high academic achievement.
Guy #1: Hey, did you see what Michelle got on her math quiz?
Guy #2: No, she flipped it over really fast.
Guy #1: HaHa!! Looks like Miss 4.0 got an Upside down grade!

A very poor grade of marijuana mostly smoked by those in the contracting business (not the contractors but rather their cheap ass employees).
Man that was definitely some shitty contractor grade weed.
Tech-support slang for customer intelligence that is so low it poses a severe hazard to those who come in contact with it. Some times abbreviated as WGS.
Did you hear about that user on the second floor who managed to force an Ethernet cable into a laptop's USB port? Fried the computer and it had to be replaced. I don't care who you are... that's some weapons grade stupidity right there.
The level of being so mentally retarded , that it is actually dangerous if left unattended or in the wrong hands.
Bob was trying to fix the copy machine when Wendy relized he was a " Weapons grade retard " due to the fact he was using a dead fish to hammer the side of it.
