Since the orcs founded Orgrimmar, Durotar has become something of a haven for all of the Horde races, especially the jungle trolls of the Darkspear tribe, who are mainly settled on the Echo Isles. Durotar forms the new homeland of the orcs and is the site of the orcs' principal city of Orgrimmar. Durotar is a proving ground for young orcs, who are sent to the Valley of Trials to complete several rites of passage before they are considered fit for the challenges that lie ahead. The orcs, however, see a harsh beauty in the land. It is a harsh land to survive in, very dry and hot, and the vegetation is sparse. The land has many crags and canyons, where dangerous creatures take residence.

The land of Durotar is rocky, and the soil is cracked and red, not unlike the orcs' homeland of Draenor. It borders the Northern Barrens to the west and the coastal lands of Azshara to the north. In their honor, this land is named Durotar, its greatest city, Orgrimmar.”ĭurotar, the land named after Thrall's father, Durotan, lies on the eastern coast of Kalimdor.

NESI: These trends do tend to be short-lived. Finally, Jacqueline Nesi says, keep this in mind. What is very real is the thousands of dollars guilty students would be responsible for and a potential felony charge. Meanwhile, school administrators are reminding students that TikTok is not real life. Now TikTok has taken down any videos tagged with the phrase devious licks, though enterprising users are trying to get around that by using creative spelling. There's a large audience and an easy way to quantify approval, with more likes, more shares, more views. GARCIA-NAVARRO: Nesi says all of those incentives are really amplified on TikTok.


And that's a really powerful incentive for teens. I think the goal is really to have the what seems like approval of your peers online. JACQUELINE NESI: The goal is not to have the thing that you've stolen from the school. And she studies the effects of social media on teens' mental health. Jacqueline Nesi is a professor at Brown University. GARCIA-NAVARRO: Of course, it's never really just about the urinal. Like, that's another thing that confuses me. Like, I would like to know what a student wanted with, you know, a well-used public urinal. She says a urinal was taken from her school.ĭIANA LOPEZ MARTINEZ: Taking the whole urinal from the wall and, you know, taking it home or taking it whatever - like, I really don't know what happened to it. Officials in California's Lucia Mar Unified School District say they've had about $7,000 worth of damage from the devious licks trend.ĭiana Lopez Martinez works with students at a school in Austin, Texas. GARCIA-NAVARRO: Silly and costly as the students try to one up each other with more extreme thefts. Like, I don't see a need to take home a soap dispenser. And nope, she's not impressed.ĪSHWINA BANGARI: If I'm being honest, I think it's really silly. Ashwina Bangari says, yep, it's happening at her high school outside of Boston. GARCIA-NAVARRO: This music from rapper Lil B is like a siren song, playing on videos where students unzip backpacks to show off their devious licks. LIL B: Ay, man, you already know who it is. The kids have rebranded old-fashioned theft and vandalism and given it a soundtrack. I said, what do you mean, devious - devious what? He says a lick is like a theft. Oh, I had to have him repeat it three times. It's part of the latest TikTok trend known as devious licks.ĬURTICE: Devious licks. GARCIA-NAVARRO: And the reason for this - well, destruction in the bathrooms in middle and high schools nationwide - soap dispensers stolen, mirrors broken, sinks ripped off of walls. The only open one was at the nurse's office, which meant a long line of very uncomfortable students.ĬURTICE: That really makes me mad. GARCIA-NAVARRO: The boy's bathrooms, he told her, were closed. And I was like, what do you mean you need a bathroom? He's like, there's no bathrooms at school today. And I said, OK, we're going to go home, right? Or do you want to get something to eat? He says, I need to go home. LINDA CURTICE: He jumped into the back seat with his girlfriend. Linda Curtice of Tempe, Ariz., first heard about it last week when she picked up her teenager from school. But lately, it's their bladders that are being tested.
