Prom is the mother of all school dances in America. Every school has one, at some fancy club. Guys have to wear tuxedoes and girls must look very snazzy in dresses. It lasts for about four hours and includes a meal and dancing to popular music. The name "Prom" is derived from "promenade", which you can find in a dictionary. (NT) -- Warteen, 16:15:46 04/20/02 Sat
