Define Real World Meaning

a term used by teachers to describe life after high school or college

An MTV "reality" show which presents a highly accurate portrayal of what "the real world" is "really" like. Upon college graduation, we're all inevitably thrust into this scary "real world" where a music channel jets us off to an exotic locale and puts us up in an obscenely gorgeous house overlooking an equally obscenely gorgeous beach. And just like in the "real world" we get to experience this standard of living without paying a single dime in rent. I shudder with terror every time I view it because it serves as a constant and painful reminder of what I had to endure in my early 20's when I was living in a Tuscan villa for free. But that which doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.

When MTV first broadcast "The Real World" it was a cool show. Now it's scripted like all the other so-called "reality shows" on TV.

1. The world outside the Internet.
2. The world outside the education system/academia.
3. The world as experienced by those who are not wealthy and have no friends in high places.

A stupid, boring, pointless program on mtv that is on tv all fucking day.

a metaphorical place in which no one lives but yourself. often used as a guilt-inducer by parental units.

title picked by MTV to somehow foist the public into buying the concept that 7 strangers living in a house rent-free for months on end is somehow real.

Lame ass MTV show, where they stick a couple of just out of college kids in a house, so that we, the viewers can listen to their converstaions, which usually go something like this:

P1: "Hey."
P2: "Hey"
P1:"What do you think about Joe?"
P2:"I don't want to move our relationship to the next level"
P1: "..."
P2: "Lets go to a club"
P1: "OK."

... And this sort of thing continues. Unfortunately, it is the preference of some friends of mine, and is constantly on TV.

1) The unbereable people, places and situations we have to deal with as long as we live. 2)What most people who do drugs are trying to escape from (most of the time they might be right - who could blame them?)
