An occasion where highschool students.. usually of their last years.. gather along with teachers to socialise, dance, eat, and maybe tell speeches. Pretty much a celebration of graduating, how ever some schools have year 11 formals.. and even year 10 formals! Dress code is formal (opposite to casual) hence the name. Some countries call it the Prom, but in Australia its called the Formal. Girls dress up in nice dresses and take a partner who wears a tie that matches the girls dress and sometimes brings along a corsage for the girl to wear.. most girls find it super sweet and exciting.
"oh my god formal in 2 days how exciting!"
"fuck the formal, i want the after party"

A byproduct of customs and morals, derived where formality is already "dead" or out-dated and, popularly, seens to prevent progress or simply kills usable time with something unimportant.
Tying ties for special occasions such as a job interview or marriages with the Double-windsor knot is a formality just as much as using a Three piece suit with three buttons and single breasted.

The formal (also called a Prom in america) is an event generally held in yr 10 and yr 12. The girls spend many months trying to find the perfect outfit, and once they have, make sure the guy shave the perfect outfit to match. The boys usually get corsages for the girl either to wear on her wrist or on her dress.There is a stereotype in public schools that a lot of people have sex at the formal, but this isnt true in private schools.
There are pre's and an afterparty, and there is a lot of variety with who is hosting it and what will be happening.
Anne: Have you got your dress for the formal yet?
Lauren: I better get it soon, its only 4 months away.
