[@bigdream_dreambig]

"411" is slang for information or gossip. It's because, before the internet was widely used, you could dial 411 on a phone to reach local "directory assistance" -- essentially an operator with a copy of the phone book for your area who would help you find a phone number you wanted (and probably connect you once they found it). It's a 3-digit number ending in 11 just like 911 because it, too, was a public service.

I was LMAO when the principal says we have a new student from Africa, and she welcomes the wrong student.

[@jet07son]

4- 1-1 is a telephone number for local directory assistance in Canada and the United States. Until the early 1980s, 4-1-1 and the related 1-1-3 number were free to call in most states. In the United States, the service is commonly known as "information", although its official name is "directory assistance". As a result, 4-1-1 is commonly used in Canada and the United States as a slang word for "information".

Most adorable reaction. As for my high school experience,there was never any "Queen B's". As a Freshman,I was "Normal". Sophomore, Junior to Senior year,I decided to be a "wild man". Nobody ever bullied me that much since I was on the weight lifting team. Good times. I saw plenty of fights and been in a few lockdowns. Never been suspended but I had detention for being late once. I never got into any fights. I played football briefly but it got cut due to budget cuts and learning of concussions. Some of the people I started Freshman year with didnt make it to Senior year.

[@rivercitymud]

My high school was like if all the typical cliques got dropped on the floor and had to be reassembled by someone who had never visited Earth. The shy immigrants taking ESL class were super popular. The letter jacket jocks were on the Dean's List but they couldn't win a game if their lives depended on it. The pretty cheerleaders had social anxiety and a lot of trouble making friends. The nerds threw the wildest parties that everyone wanted to go to, and their New Year's party was an exclusive event. The punk rock outcasts were all in ROTC and our school's drill team regularly won state competitions. I was one of those, and when I won the Superior Cadet decoration I had to stuff my mohawk under my garrison cap to go on stage to accept the award. Looking back, I think I might have actually attended the set of a Police Academy movie instead of a high school.

[@mnomadvfx]

[@LordNifty]

@@DrNickRiveria I think the characters are a lot better, though, as well as everything else. Veronica Sawyer might be my favorite female protagonist.

[@LordNifty]

Here is a sample of the dialogue from "Heathers": Veronica: All we want is to be treated like human beings, not to be experimented on like guinea pigs or patronized like bunny rabbits. Veronica's Dad: I don't patronize bunny rabbits! Veronica's Mom: Treated like human beings? Is that what you just said, Little Miss Voice of a Generation? Just how do you think adults act with other adults? You think it's all just a game of doubles tennis? When teenagers complain that they want to be treated like human beings, it's usually because they are being treated like human beings. Veronica: Yeah, well, I guess I picked the wrong time to be a human being.

A lot of people already mentioned 'Heathers' 1989. Another good mean girl react would be 'Jawbreaker' 1999, more of a dark comedy. Also, Fugly=F*cking Ugly.

[@rfresa]

My high school was huge. There were probably a few cliques like this among the cheerleaders and varsity sports teams, but they didn't have much influence over the rest of the students. Lunches were staggered because there wasn't room in the cafeteria for everyone to eat at the same time, even though the cafeteria was also huge and there wasn't really any way to predict where there would be room to sit, even for the popular kids. There was certainly no way for one girl to know everyone's business and completely dominate the social life of the school.

It doesn't matter what age you are or when you see this. It's a clever and fun bit of film with a message which becomes the plot hook. Everyone was well cast and the editing kept the story moving.

[@BubblyRainbows]

I only saw this movie for the first time a couple years ago, and I found it hilarious. I've lived in the U.S. all my life, but I have a few issues that made it impossible to attend a real school, so I have no idea if the school is split into cliques like in this movie or not. I suppose it could be. It wouldn't surprise me. I'm pretty sure if these kinds of groups are a thing, I would have been at a table alone somewhere. I can be a lot. Not many people have the patience to deal with me.

[@polferiferus1938]

My anxiety was such that I missed the second half of my sophomore year (1981), requiring I repeat it. I was also a sit-alone kid in both high school and grammar school. The cliques I remember were in grammar school, the last year if which I was in one, which was like “the comedy clique”, if it could’ve had a name; everything was done to make each other laugh hysterically; about 5 of us. Other cliques were the smart kids, the jocks, and the largest(!) was the bullies; about half the class). I was too busy being in a surreal social anxiety state to notice whatever cliques were present in high school. Once I finally graduated what seemed like a century, in sporadic college courses I always sat in front and asked questions constantly, getting top grades. Only then was school enjoyable. I think I’d realized by that time that trying to “fit in” was a misdirected ridiculous complete waste of everything. This particular comment section has become an impromptu school memory-sharing magnet; it’s very interesting reading and comparing it all.

[@christinegelabert1651]

I'M gonna sit cuz I don't see nobody sitting here anyway>you're NOT saving this seat for anyone>>>RIGHT??? THAT was pretty much my approach with people. PLUS I was a brawler so nobody ever said anything to me when it came to questioning who I as friends with or who I stood up for...cuz they just knew they'd get THEIR ass beat if they did. Anybody makes fun of the deaf or other special ed kids we had on the other side of our school .. they knew they'd be leaving school with at least a black fucking eye and a busted lip by the end of the week once it got back to me. I just don't dig that shit. That's kinda why I got along with everybody, MY only rule to being friends with me~was that you can't be an ASSHOLE! 😂 #NYGenXBIKERLady

[@BubblyRainbows]

@@christinegelabert1651 I respect that. Sounds to me like you're the type of person that it's good for everyone to have around. The problem I have with interacting with people is that I AM an asshole... unintentionally. I live with Tourettes syndrome, schizophrenia and severe PTSD. It takes a lot of patience to deal with me, and I'm almost guaranteed to offend everyone at least once in a while. I didn't attend middle school or high school because I was too disruptive and potentially dangerous to myself or others if stressed to the point where I can't be sure what's real anymore. So, I just assume that if I had attended school, I'd be eating alone. I don't blame anyone who keeps their distance. Like I said, I can be a lot.

[@WoWGirl6]

This movie is a bit of an exaggeration of what U.S. high school was. There were clicks, but sometimes they overlapped. There aren't any rules of separation. It was all organic and happened naturally. But most teenage girls are petty mostly because they are naïve.

This movie is far better than it has any right to be. I was totally uninterested originally, it seemed like just another dumb teen romcom targeted at 16 year old girls, until a friend of mine, who is ironically a chauvinistic pig, insisted I give it a shot. Suffice it to say I loved it then and still do today. There's also a Mean Girls musical that's got some banger songs in it. Apex Predator is awesome as is Stop but I especially enjoy Karen's Halloween song Sexy. It's simple and goofy but catchy as hell. Granted Karen's hands down my favorite character in both the movie and the musical but it's great regardless.

This whole set up was pretty foreign to me as well; my school didn't have these types of cliqs. You hung out with your friends, whom you usually met in your classrooms your freshman year. Plus, I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; pretty ghetto city even back then (I hear it's only gotten worse since I moved out in '09). What made it worse was that the city has a predominately black population, making me oftentimes the only white kid in the class, which was only made a concerning factor by the serious problem of racism that seemed to run rampant in that city. More often than not, my classmates were okay people that I got along with just fine, but with how widespread racism was--and still is--in Milwaukee, it was rare that I ever had a class that didn't have at least one racist kid in it. And since I was usually the only white kid in the class, it's not like they had a plethora of choices on who to bully with that racism. Interesting tidbit about the movie: Rachel McAdams was already 25 in real life while protraying this high school student lol.
