A Georgia high school student’s clever use of the periodic table may cost her a seat at graduation.
The senior class vice president used the names of elements in her yearbook quote that when abbreviated to their atomic symbol spell out, “Back that ass up.”

It's the element that makes Obama's green energy program financially solvent.
"She's get a reaction"?

She structured a joke so that only those who paid attention in Chemistry class would get it.
Good for her. Hilarious. We all wrote in code in our yearbooks. Idiots.
Could be. I was a year later. Our high school teacher taught us the phrase so I don’t know how old the phrase is. Funny, though... been a long time.
