humanities
Basically, hell. At many liberal arts colleges/universities, the humanities is a group of classes (including, but not limited to, history, philosophy, and religion). Typically, you are required to take a course from the humanities, and subsequently, feel the immense pain and torture that the humanities so-kindly provides to all the students which must endure it. If you can avoid the humanities, do so, at all costs.
Example:
Person 1: Dude, apparently I have to take a course in the humanities...
Person 2: Really? That really blows, man... well, what course are you gonna take?
Person 1: Er...Philosophy 666, the philosophy of hell.
