Schoolboy - what is it?

Schoolboy Error: (n.), (der. old English), A mistake, often trivial, clumsy, dimwitted or easily avoided. Generally shameful in hindsight, but without cause for embarassment, owing more to circumstances or instantaneous bad luck, rather than serious incompetence of behalf of the maker. Derived from the "trial and error" psychology present in Victorian-era English public schools.

Upon dropping the soap in the Violent Offenders' Wing of Barwon Prison, Eric cursed his schoolboy error.

Dr. Feynmann lowered his glasses as the fruit of twenty minutes labour yielded an unwanted result: E = mc^2/0. "Well fuck me", he said, turning to the class. "I seem to have made a schoolboy error."

Schoolboy - meaning

A very good west coast rapper.
He capitalizes the H in everything he makes because he used to be part of the Hoover Street Crips.

Although he raps about drugs a lot, his lyrics often have deeper meanings. Most of his rap is either groovy, feel good weed rhymes or serious, socially conscious rhymes that are still groovy.

Unlike Kendrick Lamar, who is another great rapper, it's easier to dance to ScHoolboy Q.

Also, her is very chill and his music is very inspiring. Compared to many mainstream rappers out there, ScHoolboy Q and his gangsta rap are some of the finest out there.

What's ScHoolboy Q's best songs?

#BETiGOTSUMWEED, Break tHe Bank, Hell of a Night, Yay Yay, Situations, and Live Again are great tracks! ScHoolboy Q inspired me to create my own music to make the world a better place!

Schoolboy - slang

A way of pissing urinating against a wall during a drunken state whilst pulling your keckstrousers (including undiesunderpants) down to your ankles and lifting up your shirt. This is known as a schoolboy as it replicates the way little children piss in urinals in public toilets and the way we all pissed as a school boy. A true schoolboy will involve pissing no handed whilst holding up your shirt with both hands.

"Did you see Callaghan doing a Schoolboy at Leedsfest whilst Arcade Fire played? What a dire choice of headliner, although they are a great live band and help Leeds maintain its musical credibility".

Schoolboy

When a guy attempts to talk to a girl whom he finds attractive but then totally blows it by stuttering or making sounds (usually loud) that more resemble animal noises than actual human speech. This often will frighten the pursued female, causing her to run for safety and will certainly become a source of ridicule for the "schoolboy" should any friends witness or find out about the event.

Drive-thru lady: Here are your milkshakes, guys.
Dan (driver): Thanks!
George (passenger): (whispering) Dan, say something nice to her to make her feel special.
Dan: BLA-EEH!
(Dan then proceeds to peel out of the drive-thru lane due to overwhelming fear, blowing any chance to ask the lady out for a date)
Drive-thru lady: Those white boys are freaks.
George: Man, you really schoolboyed it there, Dan. I can't wait to tell everyone I know exactly what happened.
