Stupid creators. Always trying to ruin our fun.

That was fascinating, because I meep on a fairly regular basis. It’s kind of a household word. I had no idea it was a thing.

[“Meep, meep?”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptHLjsPWbMs)

What the school administrators should have done was to adopt “meep” for their own saying. Greet each other with “meep,” say, “Fred, how the meep are ya?”, etc. Nothing kills a catch phrase for kids faster than its adoption by everyone else.
