I had a teacher in high school who referred to the "too cool for school" type as F.G.A. - Future Gas-pumpers of America.

I had a few classmates in high school who were F.G.A.'s, but got their isht together, graduated on time, and went on to college.

went to high school with a dude who stuck around to hit on freshman chicks.

he was 21 or some shit like that when he finally graduated.

I think I dated that guy! :p I did "go with" someone like that for about 5 days - all the girls thought he was fioonnne, football star, etc. Then someone told me how old he really was. Pedophile!

At my school, most of us kinda looked down on the kids that would talk back, sit and act bored in class, not particpate, smoke, drink etc... My area was pretty preppy and for us "cool" was being involved in a grocery list of extra curriculars., good grades, and who got into Berkeley/Stanford and the ivy league. Not that people NEVER drank or anything, they did, but they also didn't blow off school.
