A Slaxxor (I’m not sure whether or not to capitilize that) is a very, very smart person that does not apply himself/herself to school work, except in rare circumstances. I’ll probably change the definition after I really think about it (yes, I can do that. Hahaha.) but for now we’ll go with that. Based on that definition, the requirements are thus: First, you must be extremely smart. For example, if you don’t marvel at the stupidity of almost all of the people around you on an hourly basis, you’re probably not qualified to be a Slaxxor. Second, you must not be in the top 10 of your class. Unless you’re in college, where I guess you could be a Slaxxor and get great grades by acing all the finals. If you’re in the top 10, chances are you work really hard, do all of your homework to the best of your abilties. Definitely not Slaxxor material. Third, you must not be an idiot. This may seem like an obvious point since I already said you have to be extremely smart, but there are quite a few people I can think of that are extremely smart and yet, simultaneously, are annoying idiots. You must not drive 40 mpg in a 45 mph zone. Just one example.
This may be difficult to understand, but a Slaxxor is not a slacker. A slacker is just someone who slacks off in one area or another, like not doing homework, not doing their job, etc. They don’t have any redeeming qualities besides their bold slacking, and even that is debatable. Slaxxors are computer oriented, hence the leetspeek (l33tsp3/-\k) in the name. If you’re extremely smart, don’t apply yourself, but you spend most of your time playing Magic: The Gathering (slap yourself and get a life), you are not a Slaxxor. You are a geek. On a side note: Slaxxors are nerds, not geeks. Geeks suck. Just clarifying. Right. So you have to be a computer nerd genius that doesn’t apply themself and you must not be an idiot. Wow, this really is a terrible definition. I want this blog to be like Engadget or Gizmodo in a few years, with a community of dedicated submitters, posters, editors, commentors, and readers, and I want all of them to be Slaxxors or slaxxor wannabes. If you register on the site and somehow tell us your qualifications to be labled a Slaxxor, I’ll make you one, and you can submit your own stories and comment on the rest of ours. Sound good? Mmmkay, thanks for reading. You Slaxxor. Or not.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this. Just because you are a Slaxxor and you don’t apply yourself in school that doesn’t mean that you won’t go on to be the best in your field, to make the revolutionary discoveries, come up with groundbreaking theories, cure cancer, etc. Case in point, Einstein.
