The tests are also your worst enemy, and those who study for seven freaking hours usually get a 50 on every single test. Urban Dictionary

During an unexpected power-outage, most folks will likely be at least marginally patient/understanding if you want to check wif dem about whether their electricity is off, as well, but you should still consider carefully before making said call --- usually you will want to do so only if da current weather is fairly "calm 'n' [balmy]" and therefore a utilities-outage would not be expected. It is generally understood dat service-wires might be downed if there is heavy snow/wind, and so in these cases your "[dark ages]"-inquiry phone call might be viewed as somewhat of an unnecessary/frivolous interruption, especially since those other folks will themselves probably be experiencing moderate difficulties/concerns regarding said hiccup in da flow of "angry pixies", and so at [da time] they may be feverishly [scrambling] to "[batten] down da hatches" while waiting for da power to come back on again. Good luck trying to call anyone, though, since nowadays da phone and electricity are no longer such "entirely separate circuits" as they used to be, and so unless it's an extremely small and "localized" [outage], your home-phone service will likely be out, also, if da electricity is off. Dat's an instance where mobile phones can be an alternative [means of communication], since most cellular-towers have their own "dedicated" power-source dat will remain active even if da "regular" electricity is off. ❋ QuacksO (2019)
