     [ "The London Oratory" ]

    1: A place of Roman Catholic teaching where instead of a school prom, there is chapel every other week. On special occasions such as saint's feast days, jugs of very poorly rationed cordial is handed out to the pupils at lunch. Members of this place are referred to as Oratorians. An Oratorian can easily be summoned through loudly chanting "pater noster" in which the summoned Oratorian will reply "qui est in chelis". Pupils of the London Oratory will be told that they go to the "Eton of state schools" only for when they visit Eton in rugby matches the pupils are puzzled due to the lack of similarity in any shape or form. Each of the 7 years are divided into six houses, which very uncompetitively compete to win the annual house cup. This is due to the fact that not one individual is aware of how a house gets points only that when you come back after the summer another house's name is added onto the big wooden board.

      * e.g.,  ... I go to the London oratory it's kind of put me off the whole Catholicism idea. 

     [ "oratory school" ]

     [ "Oratory Prep" ]

    1: A school in Summit, NJ which rather small but easily out does all other private schools in the area. Seton Hall prep can beat Oratory in a few sports but is mostly made up idiots. Delbarton, is a school not even spoken of in Oratory, because they are too low to even think of. The dances thrown by Oratory are famous for their great DJ's and all the sister schools prefer Oratory's dances over Seton Hall's and Delbarton's. If you were accepted into Oratory you are among the finest men in NJ. P.S. Did i mention that Oratory beat Delbarton AND Seton Hall Prep in Varsity Soccer this year?

     [ "Oratory Bro" ]

    5: - Extremely attractive to the aforementioned girls and public school girls too

     [ "Oratory Prep" ]

    1: A small, yet deceptively easy to get into "prep" school in Summit, NJ. Goes along with Gill St. Bernards in the "public school masquerading as a private school" category. Because the student body is made up of boys who have been rejected from Delbarton, Pingry, and even Seton Hall Prep, the students are generally worthless and miserable. Not even fit to be called a JV School, Oratory is notoriously bad at all sports, with the exception of swimming, which, let's be honest, isn't a real sport unless you're Michael Phelps. The students are not particularly bright, thus being rejected from real schools, and are truly not gifted in any way. Oratory kids are also lacking in charm and wit, and if the rare occasion occurs where they try to be cool, utter failure and embarrassment ensues. Often referred to as Oratory Faggotory, the school also has a reputation for it's number of homosexuals. It seems that being less suave keeps the boys from attracting women, and they then turn to each other for intimate companionship. In fact, if there's one thing that Seton Hall Prep and Debarton kids agree on, it's that Oratory is the saddest excuse for a prep school on the planet. Overall, if you end up at Oratory Prep, you would be better off at Summit High School.

      * e.g.,  ... Delbarton Kid: It's fun to watch Oratory kids in social situations.
