MANHATTAN — Students at Manhattan's premiere public high school stirred controversy this week when they posted a racy set of senior superlatives on school property, the New York Post reported.

Deviating from the traditional "Most Likely to Succeed" and "Best Smile," seniors at Stuyvesant High School categorized each other under headings like "I'd tap that," "biddies" and "hotties" and taped the lists to walls in the school's second-floor atrium, according to the Post.

The practice of seniors posting "crush lists" – lists of students and teachers they've had crushes on over the past four years – has existed at Stuyvesant for over a decade, the paper noted.

But some students and teachers told the Post that this year's categories were too crude for school.

In addition to the sexually charged headings, some posters referenced the  "bootay"s and "hips" of honorees, according to the paper.
