Unspoken Rules Of The Friend Circle

Those New Shoes At Kohl's

        This is the title of our username. You're probably wondering why this is our username. The school we attend is kind of a goodie-good school. Yeah, we have some really nice kids here but quite honestly, our teachers baby us compared to other places. But swearing is already in our everyday language and our minds are already too deep in the gutter. At lunch, we talk about random shit from the latest gossip to what if scenarios. Because our staff patrols the cafeteria, we have to make sure they don't hear what we say. Let's be honest here, if we are going to go down, it is going to be for something worth our time. Going to the Dean's office for swearing is not worth it. So, if we are ever having our normal conversation and a teacher is getting near our table, we say "Did you see those new shoes at Kohl's?" and we all switch topics to shoes instead of the mother fucking pussy ass bitches who really need to be aware of the rules of a friend circle. This code has been among our friends since November, 2014. By now, we are thinking that teachers are wondering why we are constantly talking about shoes. When we say it though, there is no subtly whatsoever. We practically shout it in a foreign accent. We are more likely drawing more attention from the staff by saying "Did you see those new shoes at Kohl's?" more than we would if we just continued our conversation. But we continue to do this because it seems somehow logical.

        This strategy also applies to when you go over to your friend's house and all of us are hanging out. In most cases, we go to our friend's house whose parents are chill, but on the rare occasion when the party is at the strict parents' house, we say this too. Again, not brilliant or casual, just shouting in an accent. With this being a commonly said phrase that only our friend circle would understand, of course that is what we decided to call ourselves.
