There's a principal at a high school in Massachusetts that has made a policy banning the word "meep". Remember Bunsen and Beaker from the Muppets? That's all Beaker knew how to say. Apparently, the students used facebook (big surprise) to do a planned disruption in school and the principal did an automated call to the students homes stating if they used the word they would be suspended. Really? Suspension?
According to Urban Dictionary:
The most versatile word in the English language, or in fact any language!
Can mean whatever you want it to mean, but the most popular uses are:
1. An exclamation akin to 'ouch' or 'uh oh..'
2. Filling in the blanks where other (rude) words would go.
3. A greeting! I personally say meep instead of Hello...
4. A random expression of happiness used to fill gaps in conversation.
I think the principal is taking this too far in suspending the students for a funny word. Why not try to break a guinness record to record as many "meeps" as you can? Or have a contest to see how many different ways the word "meep" can be used? Better yet, why not use this opportunity to allow your teachers to use their God given creativity and let them use it as part of a lesson instead of teaching to a standardized test?
Think of the possibilities:
Holy meep!
Oh my meep!
Meep off!
I am predicting that meep will become a replacement for the word "Woot!" or "whoo hoo" that some use now.
Meep out.
