"TSSS, I CALL QUITS!"



As Neil Sedaka put it so frankly, breaking up is hard to do!
If you want to see the true colors of a Danvurian or be witness to someone in their natural environment, try being present when a Danvur high school couple 'calls quits!'!

Nothing can make a Danvurian happier than being in the middle of drama. Whether it's callin' quits, drunken fights at family functions, facebook or just a happy hour at the bar turned slug fest, Danvurians 'love them some drama!'. There is, however, a catch. A Danvurian will never truely admit to the fact they love to surround themselves in relationship or any other type of drama. Instead the Danvurian will go to lengths convincing you that they 'can't stand all this drama!’ I know you're thinking; boy, he sure loves the word 'drama'. The truth is this word has become a huge part of the Danvurians vocabulary in recent years. But let's focus on 'callin' quits' and save the word 'drama' for a completely different post.

Callin' quits is the equivalent to the royal family of whales filing for a divorce (on a smaller scale of course). Callin' quits also sends out a message that two of the most popular peeps in school are now available and on the market. Once this infamous couple calls quits, the rumor cogwheels start to turn and pave the way for overreacting, dramatic people to show themselves. Girls get hurt, boys get jealous, girls get jealous, boys get into a fight, girls get into 'nasty' cat fights and the casual observer becomes a spectator. We now have a full blown soap opera served Danvur style!

I will now act out a fictional Danvur couple callin' quits:

Ants (Anthony): 'Tssss, I think awe-men-uh call quits!'
Manny: 'UH-UH?!?!'
Ants:’ yay-vinz, I just don't wanna be with her any mores!'
Manny: 'Tsssssssss...'

(Once this conversations ends, Manny will start tellin' his buddies and then they’ll tell their buddies, and so on, and so on, and so on...)

Bern: 'So I hear you wanna call quits??!!'
Ants: 'PHssss, OH-YES, who said that?!'
Bern: 'Antoinette told me! Tssss, she said that, Maria said that, Lena said that, Luis said that Manny told Marko and he told his cousin, who happens to be my cousin Efrin!'
Ants: 'OH YESS, their ALL liars' and jellous (jealous)!'
Bern: 'So you don't wanna call quits?!'
Ants: 'NEDZ!'
Bern: 'OOoo, that Antoinette, awe-men-uh beat her ass!'

And so the drama begins...
