getting ESS'ed

Stemming from the IB diploma program's ESS (environmental systems and societies) class, getting ESS'ed is one of the worst things that can happen to someone. Commonly ESS is a low level class and the product of the class (the students) are also low level. So if you get owned by someone like that, hate to break it to you, you're not even on the totem pole, you're the worm infested dirt that holds it up.
