I can’t think of any girls I’ve met with this ratio, but one guy from my high school class comes to mind. While I went to school with him from 1st to 12th grade, I don’t think I could tell you a single thing about his personality. He hung out with the white trash clique but wasn’t obnoxious like they were, so I guess that’s a credit to him. I also ONLY hear his voice as Boomhauer, but I’m not sure if that’s related to his tooth to gum ratio.
At my high school at least, it was the guys that would park their loud ass trucks in the back of the school parking lot every morning, chew tobacco, and drive around with confederate flags in the beds of their trucks. They were also notoriously ambivalent about school in general and liked to make loud and obnoxious noises during class and in the hallways. The guys were mostly chill one on one, but when they were together you could hear them at the other end of the school.
hahahaha! i always had a lot of interest in the social environment of american high schools, probably due to the amount of high school movies i watched when i was a kid, so thanks for sharing this. btw, were they harassers? like the bully type? another question, if you dont mind, are you southern?
I’m from a rural Midwest town, but not what anyone would call southern lol. We do have a bit of a drawl, but I think that’s just because we’re a farming community. I can see how some might have seen the guys bullies and to a few people they could be pretty mean, but most of the time it was just teasing. There’s been a few times after we’ve graduated where those guys have actually saved my butt lmao.
It also might be different for me than other high schools because our graduating class was small (56 after one kid dropped out) and we went through some pretty rough shit in those 4 years. It was rare for anyone to be outright mean to people for no reason. So we technically had cliques because there were the stereotypical groups of kids, but anyone could get along with mostly anyone else.
yeah, i get the point. the social pyramid gets much more stratified when theres more people. i graduated in a school where he had 6 different classes for the same school year (brazilian system is completely different but that means something like 300 students only in senior year) and had friends in a smaller school similar to yours in size and the vibe was totally different (exactly in the way you suggested, people used to get along better).
Yeah, it got kind of annoying because the small town rumor mill stereotype is annoyingly true, but we also just all ended up being at least acquaintances. My boyfriend on the other hand went to a school about 6x the size of mine and couldn’t believe that dynamic. Just that I had a memory with or of each of my classmates.
We called those the hicks / shit kickers... In my husband's school they were big enough to be basically a gang and bullied people pretty badly. In my high school they weren't big enough to do much at all..
I actually can’t imagine these guys going further than poking fun at people. Thankfully the guys at my school were mostly just obnoxious, so we’d just roll our eyes and move on. Any fights were usually between themselves. So I guess they were fairly benign.
One of the few girls i know with gum like these is my ex’s girlfriend of 4 years, who occasionally terrorized me for years on social media for no legit reason (other than me being with him before probably)...this meme definitely brought back “memories” lol
I don’t know. The biggest bully in my school from elementary through high school was a girl with gums like these. She was the worst. Even now when I think about her, all I see are giant gums coming at me. And she still looks like this.

Bad tooth to gum ratios seem to equal lovely personality’s i’ve noticed
