But taking off shoes and socks when you come in is nearly as good as taking off your bra.

It's a staple food. Most kids grow up eating PB&J sandwiches.

We have them. They are usually part of the cheerleader squad or dance squad. It is a sports thing. We take sports very seriously.

How else do you hide bodies?

It's aisles, though an isle just for cereal would be amazing :-)

An affective way to make the 'popular' kids feel even more popular.

you should see what we do to marshmellows....they had it coming

How else would you call them? Students wouldn't use the teachers first name.

Some schools are more strict than others and require them. My schools didn't require them. We just excused ourselves and went to the restroom when needed.

No. They don't - at least the schools that I went to and my nieces and nephews don't (they are ages 4 - 17). In the past, students were made to recite the "pledge of allegiance" each morning, but I think this is something that has fallen by the wayside.

Some schools don't allow it, but at the schools I went to we were allowed to. It was fun! You can put magnets, quotes, pictures of loved ones.

Yes, and there are usually one or two questions where you have to read something and write a few pages for it.

Yes, and sometimes mail does get stolen even though it's a federal offense.

Some do and if you put raisins on top you call it ants on a log.

My lab partner lit the science classroom on fire. I love chemistry

Bacon IS considered finger food :D

Yes, instead of wanker or c**t.

What's so unusual with this? I'm Austrian and my children's friends never used my first name.

question: why do you ask?

Veterans do.

I think this is a lot more prevalent on TV than in my experience, at least. Ironically, I first noticed this kind of thing when reading the Harry Potter books and thought it was strange that the teachers called the students by just their last names.

Not civilians, although I've seen it in an office where many people had the same first name. Nicknames are normal, though.

Yes, if you've got a common first name. My first name, Jennifer, was so common my friends started to call me by my initials, JT, which I still go by today. Or, if someone's got a cooler sounding last name than first name.

Do you have any idea how many Chrises I know?! (Chris)

Chiefly in athletics.

Idk I thought that was a Britain thing

It’s very common for friends to use last names when addressing one another.

I usually hear it in sports, but sometimes other teachers do it.

We only called each other by last names during gym class or when playing sports. That way, there's no confusion. There were almost always multiple Jennifers or Jessicas in my classes 😅

Depends on where you were. Friends use first names. The TV show "House" had people using last names for their co-workers. BBC does that a lot too, especially with period pieces. Isn't that right, Holmes? It's quite elementary, my dear Watson.

pretty common if some people have the same first name; with my pals, there were 3 johns, so no one went by john

I think that's really only a police drama thing.... it is also mirrored on cop shows from England and parts of Europe.

Used to happen at my school alot (UK) Teachers to students... usually when they were pissed at me lol. So it was never a good sign when you hear it

I get that all the time. Actually my Dad and brother do as well. It might have something with our last name or being Latino. Back in the day when we had a land line someone would call and ask for Lechuga. We always had to have them clarify which one.

sometimes but if you have a wack last name like me its a big nope

I've often been going by my last name. It started in college, when there were several other Dans in my dorm hall.

but not children or other lower stranded adults

In high school, we called out friends by their last names.

Boys do, girls not so much.

not really

Some people do, I know a couple people that everyone calls by their last name, but it was a nickname given to them, not that they selected.

Because of my surname lots of people calls me that way... and we are very informal in Brazil.

Yes

I’m originally from Europe and this was happening there too.

Where do teens not slow dance??

no, never seen it and you do it in NYC you will be banned for life

Most of us have the entire thing memorized.

I think children all over the world have to feel "slightly suicidal" to do this.

No, we call eye doctors “Optometrists,” and we call Opticians “Opticians.”

Regionally yes. it is also known as "hot chocolate"

I’m curious what TV show you’re watching.

I’m afraid so. It’s not a movie thing.
