Who cares?! Just call them “9th graders”, which is what they are.

LOL!

FY.2

Used it on my neighbor.

His mother, the English teacher, smiled.

How about FYC?

First Year Challenged...

“Master’s Degree will be referred to as Bachelor Number Two.”

Bachelor is pretty sexist itself. You might skate by adding a bachelorette degree. :)

“All children under 16 years old are now ... 16 years old!”

The joke hinges on “The Dating Game,” so that might not work. :)

This gets more idiotic all the time. We sure wouldn’t want to call the girls “fresh women” now would we?

[oldtech]

Those repeating classes could have “retread” added to whatever else they were referred to as.

The term “retread” could be added to whatever else they were going to be called.

Hey, even the Dating Game referred to the ladies as bachelorettes 1 ,2 and 3. But then I’d also settle for the widely recognized term “noob” for freshmen. LOL

The term “retread” could be used in addition to whatever else they wanted to be called.

I thought “freshman” always worked,but then there might be those that thought that was too sexist,so then you could have “fresh women”,but that term might be considered a little too presumptuous as well.

Sorry for all the double postings....something went wrong after the first post.

I know what you mean. Remember when we could go to school, college and not have to focus on all this other stuff.

How about “pre-brainwashed”?
