What is Salesianum?

A term used by athletes and wannabe athletes from Salesianum High School in Wilmington, Delaware. It is used primarily by past and present members of the more popular male sports teams (football, basketball, baseball, soccer, lacrosse and wrestling) and their fans as an insult to athletes and fans of their arch rival St. Marks High School. It is in essence, a reference to the number of state championships that the respective schools have won (Salesianum 107, St. Marks 41) in boys sports. However the irony in the insult, is that in the six sports mentioned above St. Marks has a 37 to 22 edge.

Sallies Alum:
"St. Marks can't come close to competing with the Salesianum Tradition with our 107 state championships to your 41!"

St. Marks Alum: Are you for real? Do you really want to count your 85 championships won in track, swimming and tennis? Were not counting our 42 championships won in girls sports.

Salesianum - what is it?

A high school in the fine town of Wilmington, Delaware that serioulsy sucks at life and needs to get its shit together. Some describe it as a college prepraratory institution, when in reality it amounts to little more than a gigantic, four-year sausage fest. Sallies guys like to think they're better than kids from other schools, specifically Tatnall. In this they are sadly mistaken, as Tatnall students are uniformly smarter, better-looking, and more sanitary. Sallies does have one thing going for it however: they cling to the slim hope that a meteor might one day crash into the earth and destroy only Sallies and its occupants, thus ridding the world of the scourge that is Sallies. Mkay.

"Hey is that a meteor comig towards earth?!"
"Yeah, it is, but don't worry, it's only going to hit Sallies."
"Oh O.K., that's a relief."

What does "Salesianum" mean?

A school in Wilmington DE which tried to make up for it's inferior students by not being as open to other students. This is to be contrasted with St. Mark's, where students from many backgrounds are given opportunities to learn in a respectable private institution. They assume because they make an arbitrary list and have an unfair athletic advantage that they are superior. Oh, sallies. Maybe one day you'll understand.

How is Salesianum a Football dynasty?

Well, you go in a tight end and come out a wide receiver.

Salesianum - what does it mean?

Oh my God, is that last guy for real?? Sally's guys are little preppy dweebs who think they are God's gift to women. Dream on, guys. The only girls who would date one of you are Padua or Ursuline girls - cause they don't know any better. Like you, they must live their lives devoid of interaction with the opposite sex, and as we can all see, that really fucks a person up. And a stellar academic education? Come ON! St. Mark's offers twice as many A.P.s as you, has five phases to your three, and develops students into people who can function in the real world - not guys whose jaws drop at any glimpse of a woman.

Q: Why doesn't Sally's have any stairs?
A: Because fairies have wings.

Salesianum - meaning

Salesianum School is a secondary private school in Wilmington Delaware. The School is run by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales and is an all guys school. The rest of this entry is to despell some rumors floating around this site about sallies by people who do not know what they are talking about. First of Sallies has 5 phases. Phase 1, 2, 3, 4, 5(AP). Also Sallies has bean named one of the top 50 Catholic High schools in the US for the past 3 consecuative years and in 2004. I do not believe St. Marks has ever bean named in that list. Also Sallies has about 104 different sports championships compared to St. Marks's 42 guys and 44 girls. Also most collages in the tri state area would take s Sallies guy in a heartbeat over most other schools in Delaware. Also people say sallies is a big sausage fest. according to this site a sausage fest is a group where the number of girls are vastly outnumbered by the guys.

If ignorance was painful half the world would be on Morphine drip. Salesianum exception

Salesianum - definition

A prominent secondary school in Wilmington, DE, where students get a better education than other delaware schools. Its reputation is second to none, and when you either get married or croak, the words "Salesianum Alumnus" will magically appear in your little blip of the newspaper. Such an occurrence is rarely, if ever, seen with graduates from St. Marks, Tatnall, Tower Hill, and other schools that wish they were cool.

Your son went to St. Mark's/ Tatnall/ Tower Hill? Mine went to Sallies. I think he's outside beating the shit out of your son.
