Jacknapes on the premise

jackanapes

\ JAK-uh-neyps \  , noun;
1. An impertinent, presumptuous person, especially a young man; whippersnapper.
2. An impudent, mischievous child.
3. Archaic . An ape or monkey.
 
I'm not going to write a lot about this word tonight, mostly because I'm in the midst of writing a paper for my geography class, but let's just say that this word perfectly describes a young man in one of my classes.  That's what we'll call him... a young man.
 
While douchebag is a bit harsh a synonym for this word, it's what comes to mind whenever this guy sits down next to me.  Don't you just hate assigned seats?  I thought that kind of thing would end in high school, but there are profs out there who want to know your name, and punish you for it by making you sit in one spot for 12 weeks.  The horror.
 
Anyway, I won't relay any specific instances in case he happens to wander onto the blog sections of Google one day, but let's just say that everyone knows that jackanapes that thinks he's hilarious, and thinks that every word out his mouth should be heard by all of humanity... or at least the girls who sit next to him.  I didn't think it was possible to talk to the person sitting three inches away from you at such a level that you can't even hear the teacher, but today I was proved wrong, very wrong.  Okay, now I need to go finish my essay.  Y'all get the gist of it right?
