pep rally

1. a gathering of students before a game.
2. an excuse to miss an hour of school.
3. a way to force kids to have school spirit.
i was forced to attend pep rally.
an event where students go to “support” a school team (usually the football team) that probably sucks and show “school spirit”, even if the school has low sat scores, bad drug problems, etc.. most of the time, pep rallies are mandatory and are very loud. they are hated by emos, goths, mostly everyone in general, and are loved by preps.

my school was going to have a pep rally today, so i stayed home.
a loud, idiotic event that is held to make members of a school team feel special about themselves when in truth they are no more important than any other student. they are an attempt at forcibly getting sane students (who are considered emos) to show school spirit, and are only enjoyed by idiotic students, which is generally most of the school.
i felt like shooting myself at the pep rally.
what: a pointless event characterized by loud, sl-tty cheerleaders yelling at you to support your school’s team, general insanity, a bunch of jocks acting like -ssholes yelling to you about how they’ll kick the other team’s -ss when in the end they get their -sses handed to them on a silver plate, loud and eardrum-rupturing techno/motivational music

when: scheduled by the princ-p-l or whenever your team has a game

why: motivation(?), to be a complete waste of time

what to do in this situation: skip/ditch the pep rally entirely, attend and fall asleep, ask to use the facilities and don’t return, visit the christian cult at the back of your school (yes, there’s a christian cult at the back of your school)
joe: well f-ck me with a yard stick! there’s a godd-mned pep rally today!!

chris: wtf?! dude that sucks mega b-lls!

joe: wanna ditch and play halo?

chris: is there a reason i would remain at this gay pep rally?

joe: good point 😐
an utterly pointless gathering (often of high school students) in which the partic-p-nts scream and shout until their vocal cords are scarred,for the purpose of “supporting the team.” it is an attempt to make people happy about the backwards, stone age social system that still permeates our society, in which the biggest and strongest still remain on top, whilst those that have even the barest hint of intellect (read: nerd, geek, emo) are kept in the lower echelons in spite of the fact that it is them that drive society forward.
douche bag: dude, there’s a pep rally today. let’s show school spirit

intelligent person: no… i’d rather not support a social system that went out of date back when humans invented agriculture.

douche bag: what did he say?
‘the pep rally is a place for pseudo-prost-tutes to provoke men into a s-xual frenzy which, when thwarted, results in pointless athletic compet-tion.’
– sunnydale high newspaper, btvs (season 3: ‘earshot’)

(at the pep rally)
edgar: whoa! that cheerleader is totally booty shaking!
bob: she’s totally working me into a s-xual frenzy!
(moments later)
edgar: my s-xual advances were thwarted.
bob: mine as well.
edgar: want to play some ball?
bob: fo’ sho’.
the feeling you get after you leave a pep rally, after having so much fun and being so hyped up.. to sit there on the boring bus and ponder life realizing that all that fun is over. and you’re on the bus.

pep rally can be used to describe that feeling in any number of situations where things generally suck after being hyped up,
taking a nap only meant to last, say, 30 minutes at around 7pm and waking up at 2am. “wow! that’s so pep rally”
