cold, gray and not hopeful. "To confront" a situation is to face it or deal with it directly. If the cheater does not come forward, or is not identified by then, I will be forced to fail the entire section. Here, "to come forward" means to announce publicly who they are. We have all been dishonored by this person and I will not tolerate it. If a person is "dishonored," they have been made to look as if they have done something shameful or embarrassing. "To tolerate" something is to accept it, even if you don’t like it. I prefer to keep the evidence to myself for the time being. "Evidence" is anything that can be used to prove who committed a crime (In this case, the piece of paper that was used to cheat on the test). I worked my ass off for four years and now for one lying bastard, my life is ruined? "To work one’s ass off" is a very slangy way of saying to work extremely hard. A "bastard" is a vulgar word for a mean or abusive man. "To ruin" something is to completely destroy it. I wish I could get it out of my mind, but I got this appalling feeling...I have a good idea who did it. An "appalling" feeling is one of shock or disgust. Maybe Conners can enlighten us. You’ve been slacking off all term. "To enlighten" a person is to educate them, or to give them wisdom. "To slack off" is an interesting phrasal verb meaning to become lazy.

If you accuse a person of being "full of shit," you’re saying that they are saying lies or nonsense. Vulgar, but common and useful. "Four-eyed" is an insulting and silly adjective for a person who wears glasses, and a "runt" is any small and weak animal or person. Not a nice thing to say. I’m in more trouble than all of you guys put together. Another way of saying "all your troubles combined." You bastards aren’t going to pin this on me. "To pin" a crime on a particular person is to accuse them of having done it. I’m sorry he’s offended, but this could ruin the lives of everybody in this room. If a person is "offended," they’re feelings have been hurt, or they have been angered or upset by what has been said or shown. You guys got to handle this. In this case, "to handle" something means to effectively take care of it. Let’s sleep on it and we’ll meet tomorrow morning after chapel in the founder’s room. "To sleep on" something is to think about it for a while, and then usually to talk about it the next day. A "chapel" is a small church for religious services, and the "founder’s room" probably is named after the fou
