Revision as of 13:14, 18 May 2016

The transcript is almost done, but the setting/image of each frame has to be added, and someone may want to fix my possible typos. This is my first contribute to explain xkcd! 108.162.250.158 10:51, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I added the explanations about the images. Thanks for contributing! Ladidootdoot (talk) 11:21, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I assumed this was about hair buns, am I incorrect? 173.245.54.25 11:10, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I think it's "bun" short for "bunny", an informal term meaning a rabbit (especially a cute one such as the ones shown in the comic). 141.101.98.130 11:16, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Of course, 'buns' are also a euphemism for butt, which might clarify a thing or two, or at least add a more amusing context.

I also believe the comic makes more sense when taking that meaning (bun for buttocks/derrière...) into account. 162.158.150.230 12:53, 18 May 2016 (UTC)J

I know that this is absolutely just a personal gripe, but the website is called explain xkcd, not spell-out-everything-that-happens-in-xkcd.

In relevance, this seems to be satire of current-gen's obsession with (mis)spelling things that are cute incorrectly (see: smol, birb, doge) and the situation in the comic is a role-reversal, with the teacher being a (teen/tween/memer etc.) and the students are accusing the class's professionalism.

The point about 'rank' could of course be some fictional idea that a younger person could attach to a physical entity to make the world mor fun and interesting or something idk. I would add this theory, of course, but i have no idea what i'm even reading when i read this explanation and don't know where to add it. 108.162.250.161 12:00, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Hierarchy is misspelled. Unless it's a convoluted pun on heir - hare (almost homophones) ? blagae

As soon as I read it, I was thinking 'bun' as in 'bottocks', yet there is no mention of that in the explanation?
