Refers to the (unfortunately very-seldom-practiced!) consideration of using a separate hand-held rubber eraser --- or at least to slip on one of those much-longer-lasting wedge-shaped "supplementary" eraser-caps if you know you'll be doing a lot or error-expunging --- to clean most of your mistakes instead of just mindlessly consuming your pencil's minuscule built-in eraser, so that you don't wear da entire 0%!$&#@ eraser clear down to the metal ferrule before the pencil's even been "sharpened away" much at all, causing any unfortunate person who subsequently attempts to use said pencil to not have any eraser left for "emergency" erasures (i.e., where he needs to make a quick correction in a tense/flurried situation, like trying to hastily jot down a phone number or address, or to quickly fill out a form where neatness is a must). It helps eliminate waste, as well --- think how many still-perfectly-usable pencils (i.e., they still have most of their "length" remaining) likely get discarded just because their erasers are worn down.
I always bring along a few pencil cap erasers in my purse, since I know how few people actually practice pencil-eraser etiquette, and so oftentimes the only pencils that will be lying around for people to use will not have any eraser left.
P.S. There's also such a thing as "pencil-POINT etiquette --- if ya wear down the lead in a "public" pencil, such as a string-tethered one for a "customer comments" notes-box, practice a little fellow-human consideration by scraping away a bit of the wood at the tip to expose a little of the graphite core again (here's where always carrying a small pen-knife --- or even better, one of those tiny two-finger-grip "dog-bone" or "hourglass" style sharpeners --- can come in handy), so that da next patron who wishes to fill out a store-satisfaction card can have enough of a point on da pencil to actually do so!
This here is the phrase Satan said when God and all his angels tried to stop him. this is the phrase that echoes through hell over the screams of all villains. This is the phrase that had the dinosaurs go extinct. This here, this very phrase, is the reason people cannot hear such high frequencies.
At one point in everybody's life, someone will experience the "pens pencils down". It is just like chickenpox, and whether or not you get it when your in a grade 8 math class with a teacher who's one goal is the cause you pain, you will get it at some point. Beware of this, because this in itself is a rite of passage. This in itself will cause you nightmares and pain beyond understanding. This is hell.
This phrase will catch you completely by surprise, in a time where you think there will be no need for quiet. However, as I have learned, there always is a lead. Be careful my good friends, and expect the unexpected because if you are not ready like I was, you will know the pain and suffering I went through.

No, you miss.

It is when you grab a mechanical pencil of any sort and threaten someone with it verbally, or just wield it like a madman

Pencil Sharpening Day is an international Holiday, taking place on October 27th, which was recently popularized by the Youtuber cs188.
While the true origin of this annual holiday is unknown, experts believe that it originated in the middle ages, when feathers that were used to write bibles were thrown onto a pile and then were all sharpened on pencil sharpening day.
There is also rumored to be another Pencil Sharpening Day in November, which could not be confirmed, though.
Woohoo! It's pencil sharpening day! Hahahaha!
An unfathomably neat vagina, without overhanging or meanderings.
How are things going with your girlfriend?
Great! You should see downstairs. It's like a pencil drawn line!
