A concerned parent forwarded this email sent to students at Whitman Middle School in Ballard (emphasis mine):
**To all students: There is no such thing as “butt slap Friday.” So if you think it’s OK to slap someone’s butt, think twice. That is called sexual harassment and there will be serious consequences if you are caught doing it to anyone at school….whether it is Friday, or any other day.
I assume the serious consequences don’t include spankings. RIP Butt-Slap Friday. You lived and died in the space of an email.

- This is not a high school butt. Feel free to stare.
Why do you hate my born again Canadian heritage so very much?
Maybe it’s not a holiday for you …
Not only is it not high school, it’s not attractive.
Not a real holiday? But I just decorated my butt slap tree and sent out my butt slap cards!
not even on the sports teams?
This sort of reminds me of an unofficial annual event from my high school days called “Senior Skip Day”, when the 12th graders would collectively fail to show up for school and head for the beach instead. Typically it happened late in the year, right around the point where most started to realize that semi-freedom was right around the corner anyway.
On the morning in question, the assistance principal would get on the louderspeaker to make sure all students knew that Senior Skip Day “wasn’t real”, and that anyone participating was in big trouble… which struck us all as rather hysterical, since no members of the intended audience were there to hear it.
Butt-Slap Friday is a jewish tradition, how dare they!
@5: Sir, are you aware that a giant growth is on your head, eating your ear?
@7,
I assumed he had two heads.
Now you’re hating on head-enabled people’s holidays.
They have feelings too!
Twice as much, in fact.
Please don’t get rid of cock chomp Saturdays!
@8: Ah, I get it. Very Zaphod Beeblebrox.
Baby’s gotta eat, man 🙂
Butt-Slapping is an everyday thing for some of us-Mon-Sat and twice as much on Sundays…
Where were these fridays when I was in school.
Anyway, my senior years senior prank day was a miserable fail. Nothing happened except rumors about erasers disappearing from a few classes. And something about grasshoppers on the loose in a hallway.
@12, long as you’re not one of those guys who thinks the gnawing will eventually lead to lactation.
At my school we hae somthig calle hug an asian tuesday or hug a red head monday. These were unplanned but always spread throughout the day. We always got in trouble because it was counted as PDA at my school even though we were realy were not showing any affection. ;P
