Outlines
😄 The Misadventure of 'Womp'
The first paragraph introduces a school setting where Lawson, a student, is preparing for a game day and is concerned about being laughed at. He and his friends discuss the creation of a word that won't get them in trouble for swearing. They coin 'womp' as a harmless term, but it quickly becomes a problem when it's misinterpreted as bad language by school authorities. The principal, Miss Fisher, enforces a strict rule against the use of 'womp,' leading to detentions and a school-wide ban on the word. Lawson and his friends feel that their creative expression has been unfairly punished, and the situation escalates when they are sent to the principal's office for using the word in various contexts.
😓 The Consequences of a Word
In the second paragraph, the school's reaction to the word 'womp' intensifies. The principal calls in a 'cleaner,' Mr. White, to address the situation. It's revealed that 'womp' started as an innocent stand-in for swearing but has now become a bad word itself. The school decides to make an example of the student who started using the word, Alexsei, to deter others from using it. The situation becomes absurd when a hearing is held, and a psychologist, Dr. Dice, is called to testify about the word's impact. The hearing becomes chaotic, with various interpretations of the word 'womp' being presented, and ultimately, the student is found not guilty, highlighting the subjective nature of language and the futility of trying to control it.
🎉 The Resolution of 'Womp'
The third and final paragraph brings the story to a close. Despite the intense debate and hearing, the student, Theodore J. Detwiler, is found not guilty, and the word 'womp' is not deemed obscene. The court recognizes the difficulty of controlling language and the subjective interpretations of words. The student is expected back at school the next day, indicating a return to normalcy, but the victory feels somewhat hollow as the school's overreaction has left a mark on the students' freedom of expression.

it was then that mr. Detweiller uttered
a word so vile that I cannot bring
myself to utter it in these hallowed
halls a word so dangerous ladies and
gentlemen that if left unchecked its
usage could wind its way into our
children's vernacular eventually causing
society to crumble and civilization as
we know it to come to an end
love that man Superintendent Skinner
your decision is clear make an example
of this miscreant expel him with extreme
prejudice
that way no child whatever used is word
again the Board of Education rests Thank
You mr. white eloquent powerful and not
just a little frightening yet our j
detwiler based on the evidence presented
here I have no choice but to sentence
you to die so others be PhD psychologist

an expert in American slang and he's
agreed to speak on TJ's bass what a PI
bond room here to lay it out straight

from the courtroom
my question is good answer how dare you
question my credentials sir I did not
spend well he is studying at the world's
finest universities just to be slandered
by the Knights of summer civil servants
and bio victory cats a dog
superintendent Skinner could I please
speak for myself well it's finally
unusual in these hearings but so is
everything else here today go ahead son
sir I know dr. dice is trying to help me
but the stuff he's saying the way he
talks is go another time I also get mr.
White's trying to say no worries just
scared and that's all but the thing is
sir
making out words and stuff is part of
what theater kids all about we love to
make up names for junk we're not looking
for trouble the fact is I invented that
word to stay out of trouble
and now just because some of these by
word sounds bad I have to stand here
today defending myself I don't mean to
be rude sir but if you ask me this whole
thing young man oh good sir I tried to
keep that Trevor board out of the
courtroom but as you can see this young
man has no regard whoa whoa wait a
minute
mr. white what terrible word are we
talking about here well the word is once
sir once white are you telling me this
entire proceeding is over the word
whomps yes that's correct I fail to see
what's so funny the word that's what's
so funny white mobs it's a funny word no
reason sir it's shameful filth its
meaning is clearly obscene doesn't mean
anything I've seen to me how about you
young lady does pumps mean if you
obscene to you me no I think it's just a
clever and creative way to say how
unpleasant and user Oh to me it means
something's repellent or offensive that
or bodacious
sounds like a type of fish to me and I
think it's funny
anyone who hears dirty meaning of this
prompts word probably has a dirty mind
to begin with the Board of Education has
no control over what goes on inside
people's minds hard as we try I
therefore find Theodore j detwiler not
guilty
that means you're expected to be in
school tomorrow morning young man sort
of a hollow victory huntys
you
