I would have paid way more tending in school if we were learning about Jwoww vs. Sammi Sweetheart .

I loooove when the internet takes something meant to be serious and totally flips it to appeal to our own niche humor. When I saw a tweet from@tamsully12challenging us to name a famous historic battle, it was clear they meant historic as in, like, from a history book:

Bosworth

Somepeople understood the assignment and gave super scholarly and history teacher–approved answers:

Battle of BadrBattle of uhudBattle of khandaqBattle of hunaynBattle of yarmoukBattle of HastingsBattle of Waterloohttps://t.co/F2vHbtR74B

But others (aka those of us who are chronically online) heard “historic” and thought to themselves, “Oh, historic? So, you mean iconic?” And responded with battles likethisone:

I hope you enjoyed these messy fights from herstory as much as I did! It’s pretty clear to me that history classes would be wayyy more of a slay if people would have ditched the trench warfare and worked out their disputes with a lip sync battle.
