the SDMB takes a look inside a fourth grade argument

“Say I, then spell CUP.”
“I see you pee.”
“Ahhh-haha! You queerbait! You like to watch people pee!”

“You’re dead off the bus.”
(Translation: I’m gonna kick your ass when we get off this here school bus)

I’m a big guy, and always have been, but I never learned to fight back and therefore got my ass kicked a lot in elementary school. And people wonder why I don’t pine for my childhood…

On a more positive note: this thread reminded me that I once successfully impressed some girls in 3rd grade by creating a substitution (or maybe a symbol) cypher for them to use in the notes they passed back and forth. And in 7th grade I impressed some “cool” girls by programming my Radio Shack pocket computer to display rude things about another girl they didn’t like. I was such a dork, yet it occasionally paid off. Go figure.

Hey, Kallessa, did you see Soap last night?

No?

Ha ha, Kallessa didn’t take a baaaaaaaaaaaath!!!
[sub]This will only make sense to those of us who remember when Soap was actually still in production![/sub]

Oops. :o Sorry about that.
In that case, want to start a “Sweet Valley High” Club?
We can be the presidents!!!
