Firm One

A "Firm One" is the name given to a loud screech made by Meme Lord.
== Origins ==
The date of the first 'Firm One' is lost to time, but they were first mentioned on the Council on 9/25/2018 in a response to Sly Frog Fry talking to S. Gillbert.
As for their actual first use, 'Firm Ones' were first uttered by The Meme Lord during his 8th mod gym class with Mike Kachowski and Dankey Kang. The sounds meant nothing in particular and were purely chaotic loud screeches that Meme Lord would do randomly in the gym. Thanks to the Gym's size and acoustic architecture the 'Firm Ones' were amplified greatly and everyone in the gym could hear them. They quickly grew popular and it wasn't until roughly a month in that they were first given a name; "Firm One's", by Dankey Kang (It is also possible S. Gillbert named them, but this is less likely). 
They grew in such popularity that many, particularly friends of Dankey Kang grew to love them and would ask them for constantly during gym class, asking the famous question: "Meme Lord, gimme a firm one!". It its interesting to note that at this time, "Meme Lord" did not have this nickname yet. The only thing dubbing "Meme Lord" as "Meme Lord" before this gym class was Meme Lord writing "The Meme Lord" as his name on his notebook, which barely anyone knew about. No, the 'Meme Lord' nickname was TRULY born due to Meme Lord's famous shirt that he'd wear to this exact gym class. Meme Lord had a theme of wearing ridiculous shirts to gym class, which started in 8th grade at AHMS, such as Nicolas Cage shirts and so on. The 'Meme Lord' shirt in particular however grew so popular that many simply dubbed Meme Lord by his shirt, (mostly due to them not knowing his real name), that Meme Lord wore that same Meme Lord shirt every single gym class until he graduated. 
Anyways the reason the shirt lore above ^ was mentioned was because it was vital to the creation of Firm Ones. The nickname "Meme Lord" was partially created by Meme Lord himself, but more so popularized by Dankey Kang and S. Gillbert, and therefore, "Meme Lord" and "Firm One" became synonymous, a good portion of the Class of 2021 not knowing Meme Lord's real name but loving Firm Ones. 
Firm Ones grew so widespread that they (whether you see this as bad or good) became the only thing the majority of Abington Heights attributed to Meme Lord himself. Many would ask for them in the halls, or during class, though Meme Lord would barely ever comply during class as to not disturb the teacher or get them banned. Dankey Kang even kept the tradition going during lunch period, where he would shout across the cafeteria for a Firm One at The Table on a daily basis, sometimes asking for the new alternative, a "Firm Bee", where Meme Lord would shout "barry BEE benson". Dankey Kang and others were so loyal to The Meme Lord's Firm One's that they never asked anyone else to do them, and when others would try to recreate them they were shot down quickly. One such example could be when one day, Dankey Kang and his friends asked for a Firm One like any other day during lunch period, but before Meme Lord could utter one, The Rare Meme Lord of Cinder turned around and tried to recreate one, but he was quickly shot down by Dankey Kang and others where they quite simply said "shut up, only Meme Lord can do them". 
Perhaps the Firm One's greatest founding moment was during one day of badminton, where Meme Lord and Mike Kachowski were dueling each other. With every successful hit by Meme Lord, Meme Lord uttered a Firm One, which sometimes grew in volume with the more consecutive hits. At one point, Weebles called over Meme Lord, and, quite not able to keep a straight face, said "You know people look at you when you do that, right?", seeming to think Meme Lord wasn't aware how loud they were. Meme Lord responded "Yeah", and when Weebles opened his mouth to respond he could only chuckle, and gave up and walked away, without reprimanding Meme Lord. Weebles would continue to be one of the largest supporters of Firm Ones. 
== Legacy ==
Firm Ones were perhaps one of the most lasting impressions Meme Lord left on AHHS, with many, many students and professors acknowledging them to this day. But despite public opinion, The Meme Lord actually did not desire to ever become popular, in fact, he despised the popular crowd at Abington, thus he would normally only regularly accept Firm Ones during Gym class. Firm Ones during lunch period were a 50/50 chance, as Meme Lord would have to make sure no teachers were looking, and also not to make them too common and kill the fad. Meme Lord would rarely, if ever, do them during class, and would only do them in the halls if the coast was clear, as certain teachers grew to hate the sound. 
It wasn't until Junior Year, where WMD and T. Burns, in Big Tanner's famous 8th mod math class, where Firm One's would be drastically reinvented. Firm Ones still sounded the same, but now they were given a category system by Meme Lord. Categories 1-10, similar to a hurricane or tornado, but more realistically to Kaiju category system from the film Pacific Rim. The categories were based simply on the volume and power of a Firm One, for example, a Category 1 would be a simple squeak, a Category 4-5 a common Firm One, and a Category 10 was joked as being powerful enough to blow up the school and surrounding areas. Big Tanner actually enjoyed the Firm One's as well, though he was respected enough by Meme Lord to not do them while he was teaching, and most Firm Ones done in Big Tanner's class was done the second Meme Lord walked out the door.
It became tradition to end every school year with the most powerful Firm One Meme Lord could utter, and on later years these would of course be dubbed "Category 10 firm ones". One such Category 10 was during a zoom meeting on one of Big Tanner's online math classes, and the recording is still preserved to this day. Dankey Kang has the very first "category 10" firm one on video as well, at the end of Freshman year. Sly Frog Fry has several smaller Firm Ones as well on video. Many of his recordings were either with Meme Lord at the bus stop, or in the stairwell. The stairwell turned very chaotic in the middle of the day thanks to the firm ones.
Only one other person has been known to near-perfectly recreate a Firm One, and that is Carl Wheezer, who is also a Memeber, tho inactive. This is perhaps due to his high skill in impressions, (thus his username), but he for whatever reason respected The Meme Lord enough to seldom do them, seeing the true Firm Ones as superior.
Vannaniel even only recognized Meme Lord as being the one to do Firm One's, saying to Meme Lord shortly after meeting him, "aren't you the one who does those screeches in the halls?". Firm Ones were banned in Junior Year gym/physical fitness by Rep after he tracked down who was doing them, due to rapid requests by WMD and T. Burns, who happened to be in that same class.
Requested by Mike Kachowski, Firm Ones are now the sounds of Lightning strikes in the MegaMeme Pack. Firm One's also got an Urban Dictionary page made by Meme Lord on March 3, 2020.
== Those who banned Firm Ones ==
There were some teachers who outright banned Firm Ones, believe it or not.
