What exactly is this "order"? This article explains the abbreviation but doesn't say what it means. What is it about? Is it some rule that is enforced in UK schools? Badwolff ☎ 21:13, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
- Technically, even saying what the acronym stands for is violating T:NO RW. It's shorthand for "unruly schoolchildren" along with the Doctor mentions of hoodies and obnoxious ringtones. It would be really condescending to the British audience to explain it in-universe, especially if it's just as an insult, rather than actually receiving one. It IS pretty Britain-exclusive, so maybe someone more familiar with the order can explain it in the behind the scenes section.
- From Wikipedia: An Anti-Social Behaviour Order is an Order of the Court which tells an individual over 10 years old how they must not behave. An Order can contain only negative prohibitions. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:56, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
