The tendency of history to repeat itself

Person 1: Looks like we're going into another recession.
Person 2: Yeah, the history paradox.

HISTORY PRE-TEST

When life comes to a halt and asks you one question...What do you know about history? The British are coming, Obviously there was the first and the fifth president, Johnny Depp has several islands, some painter guy was gay, A.D. means after death, B.C. means before Christ, and A.C.D.C. I still have no idea what that means, my previous history teacher should have been fired for cussing, Hawaiians believed in spirits, destiny child broke up, and I love that documentary with that one chocolate factory and that kid ummm yeah Charlie.

O MA GOD IT'S THE HISTORY PRE-TEST. MY COMEDIC TALENT IS AT USE BECAUSE THIS TEST HAS NO AFFECT ON MY GRADE.
TEACHER: HON I HOPE YOU TAKE THIS HISTORY PRE-TEST MORE SERIOUSLY TOWARDS FINALS, BUT FOR NOW MAKE ME LAUGH.

History

Something that doesn't need to be torn down or replaced. As long as people are (mis)led to believe that out with the old, in with the new is really in their best interest and not in the financial interest of some developer from another town or state, they will keep falling in line with the agenda of these folks and never taking a stand against their agenda. It's a good way to lose any history that people came to love about a place, in favor of building a new order and a new agenda of peole that don't really give a fuck about them or anything but dollar signs.

History isn't removed or replaced by something new, it's really an attempt by some people or groups to show that somebody new is in charge here now.

history dump

Someone tells you a lot more than you ever wanted to know about their past (work, personal life, problems, etc). Too much info, too many details, not all of it is relevant or important to the present time.

When I asked about her work experience, I got a 20-minute, non-stop history dump.

If you ask about his ex-girlfriend, be ready for a history dump...he doesn't know when to stop.

Experience of history

A unique way of describing photographs of a macro event.

That experience of history was caught on individual twitter feeds all over the city

Date History

The mental "list" of all of the people somebody has dated.

"Should I go out with Kaley or do you think she's a slut?"

I dunno bro, shes got a long date history.

Search history

The system that can get you arrested or grounded for looking up illegal stuff

1. “I hate how the search history got my career ruined by being arrested…”

2. “I can’t go anywhere cause I’m grounded due to my mom seeing my search history…”
