First They Came for the Meepers, and I Said Nothing

The Anti-Fun Brigade is coming, and they want your gibberish.

In Boston, a high school principal has threatened students with suspension if they say a certain word, a shocking word, a word so dangerous that we are not sure we can even permit it to escape the pristine pucker of our youthful lips!

But here at SparkNotes, we believe in FREEDOM, so we're going to sack up and say it. The word is...

(looks around nervously...)

MEEP.

Oh, that wasn't so bad after all. Except—hey! Where'd that black helicopter come from? Who are all these guys in S.W.A.T. uniforms? What are you doing with that duct tape?!! Nooooooo!

The story: when principal Thomas Murray “learned of a student plan brewing on Facebook to stage a major disruption on school grounds using the 'meep',” he banned all use of the word. Details on the “major disruption” were sadly absent from all news reports, but we're assuming that scimitars and bear suits were involved.

Students and their parents seem to be befuddled but unconcerned by the ban—after all, there are plenty of other fun words not yet forbidden by the administration. Words like what, you ask? Here's our list of suggested Words to Use in Place of Meep:

fleep
cheep
skeep
fiddlefaddle
persnickety
spackle
twinkie
twaddle
poodle
noodle
chumbiscuit
eke
carny
monkeybutt
whackamole
booger
skedaddle

And, of course...
WEINER.

Heh. Heheheh. HAHAHAHAHAHAA.

Got a funny word to add to our stash? Leave it in the comments!
