Don't Say 'Meep' At Danvers High School

"Please be advised that any student who has the letters 'meep' on their clothing or uses the words verbally will face suspension from school...the police are monitoring this situation as well."

seriously?! getting suspended from school for saying 'meep'? thats just ridiculous. and getting the police involved on top of that, what could they possibly do? the article is a little under a year old but the fact still remains. utter nonsense. i can understand words like [snip] or [snip] getting you suspended, even though i feel bad words in general are nonsense (i dont understand how a word can be bad) i wonder if beaker from the muppets, or the roadrunner were banned too. labeled a meep spokespersons hah. meep meep!



ATS is acting a bit buggy for me right now, to read the news article you gotta do it the old fashioned way and copy/paste the provided link

I must be getting old, but here goes:

What is meep?

According to the article, if I understand it correctly, the kids at this school started saying "meep" as a generic substitute for any and all real profanity.

Examples could be:

Meep off.

Bite my meep.

Meep you, you meeping meep.

I think it's my new favorite word.

If they're clever, they'll replace it with the word "school," the principal's name, or similar.

hell they shoulda used frak

Frak? Frak no, I'm so sick of that fraking word I could meep.

Ha! Our school used to say "fupping" in exchange for anything repugnant. Its a kid thing man! The cops getting involved? I think thats a little bit over the top.

That's ridiculous.
You know what my reply to that would be?

If Anonymous doesn't deal with this, I will lose all meeping faith in humanity.

Meep.

pauljs, I meepin' love it!!!

Good find.

I've always been a Muppets fan.

haha thats meeping brilliant, maybe they could get the principle banned! i searched the schools website but couldnt find anything about the meep ban, maybe the school has come to their senses and lifted the ban

I am in high school, and here we use the word beep because of that beeping censor noise used when removing profanity.

Beep the cops!

Or if your a bit of a geek you can say 'frack'!

'Frack the cylons!'

Already said that

That's crazy I normally use the word "meep" to express suprise, a sort of extention of "eep".

reply to post by HomerinNC

"Frak? Frak no, I'm so sick of that fraking word I could meep.



I'm sorry, that post made my literally laugh out loud.

Seriously though, what the heck? Meep? But isn't that a good thing, like using 'heck' and 'darn' instead of actually swearing?

They'll be banning the entire dictionary before long because, as stated already, the kids will find another word to substitute.
