GOTEM

The term "Gotem" is a slang term rapidly increasing in popularity amongst Florida (USA) high school students.

Etymology:

The center of this new verbal activity is undoubtedly from Eastside High School in Gainesville, FL. "Gotem" was derived from the not uncommon saying, "Got them." The word then transitioned to "Got'em," and now finally, to "gotem." There is much controversy over the originator of this term, but few doubt that a one Bei He played a critical role in its beginnings and initial spread. The term is also thought to be related to the card game, Texas Hold'em, due primarily to the two words similar structure.

Use:

When one is particularly excited it has become customary to shout "GOTEM" as loudly as possible, this is generally followed by echoes of gradually shrinking magnitude. It is also used when a person has pulled off a particularly impressive feat, either by the person themselves or any witnesses to the event. "Gotem" is beginning to be used as a greeting as well.

Hello i am a new user to wikipedia and I am trying to get my feet wet my main interests are Astronomy and American History. I have horrible spelling and even worse grammar so feel free to edit my homepage or anything else that I edited for spelling and grammar mistakes.

I am currently a Senior in the IB program at Eastside High School in Gainesville Florida. My strongest school subjects are Math, History, Science, and drafting.

I am starting to revamp wikipedia's civil war battle section becuase in my view it is quite meager. So if anyone would like to help me with this large task please feel free to drop me a line.

I have ADHD, dysgraphia, Dislexya, and Auditory Processing Disorder (the asute may note that i have problems reading, wirting, and hearing/speaking its made for an intersting life). While at times having these gifts have been annoying, overall i enjoy having these gifts because it allows for me to see the world in a differnt light.
