Dirty T:
What everyone calls Tucson. If you have been here you fully understand the name because it is all-around dirty. I can’t wait to be reunited with all my besties in the Dirty T and start senior year.
Bear Down:
A very short summary: years ago John Byrd “Button” Salmon, the student body president at the U of A, was in a car accident and said to the coach at the time, J.F. “Pop” McKale, to tell them team to “bear down.” #Beardown
The Mall:
The giant green patch in the middle of campus; commonly hosts people with aggressive signs, tents full of people trying to make you sign up for something, giant bouncy houses and other random activities. I was walking across the mall and I stopped to go on the slip and slide.
UAWIFI:
The most unreliable Wi-Fi you will ever encounter. I was in the middle of an important quiz when UAWIFI stopped working.
Red Dot:
The sign that appears on D2L to let you know you have either failed or succeeded. *Signs on to D2L, clicks on the red dot* Aw I got a 64% on the test.
Shibboleth Error:
Still trying to figure out what exactly it is. Every time I try to sign on to UAccess it says Shibboleth Error.
Dayge:
Day + rage = dayge. Are you going to the dayge on Saturday?
Eegees:
A place with flavored frozen ice that happens to be at every event you ever attend. Apparently they also have sandwiches and hot dogs. I’ve never actually been to Eegees but I had the frozen ice at the event last weekend.
Nado:
Coronado, aka, the party dorm. I lived in Nado freshmen year and it was the best time of my life.
AzSo:
Arizona Sonora, the dorm second to Coronado. I lived in AzSo my freshmen year and it was fun but I wish I lived in Nado.
Highland:
Pretty much where the rest of the dorms are. I lived on Highland my freshmen year but I wish I lived in Nado.
Highland Burrito
The best thing to eat after midnight and the cause of the freshmen fifteen. You can get a burrito at Highland Market which is open 24/7. I gained 15 pounds freshmen year because I had a Highland Burrito every time I was drunk.
Monsoon:
This weather thing that makes it pour rain and flood the streets of Tucson while also maintaining a warm temperature. During monsoon season I usually have to take my shoes off at the cross the street to get to class because it is so flooded.
ZonaZoo:
The best student section in the country where you see people in all sorts of costumes and body paint. ZonaZoo stays the whole game (sometimes).
Dead Day Eve:
U of A’s favorite holiday. The night before Dead Day where students go out and then feel dead the next day, hence the name. I understand why they called it Dead Day, I feel dead right now and I can’t study.
Wilbur and Wilma:
The wildcat mascots that are married. Wilbur and Wilma performed such a cute routine at the game.
Ben’s:
Gentle Ben’s, a restaurant with the best chicken tenders of your life that turns into a bar at night. The place to be on Tuesdays. I waited at Ben’s at 10am and still didn’t get a wristband for tonight.
Bag’s:
Dirtbag’s, the place to be on the weekend. I’ll see you at Bags tonight, right?
Frogs:
Frog & Firkin, often pronounced Frog & Frickin because people pretend that’s what it’s really called. Great restaurant/bar for beer, day games, and just day drinking in general. The game is at 7pm so let’s get to Frogs around 10am.
Bursur:
At the beginning of each semester the bookstore allows you to charge whatever you want to your Arizona account so your parents can pay for it instead. I bursured new Beats and told my parents I got my books.
Old Main:
Where people take their senior pictures. Also, the oldest building on campus. I want a picture in the fountain at Old Main before I graduate.
ASU:
The enemy. ASU sucks.
University of Arizona:
The best school in the nation. People who don’t go there: I wish I went to the University of Arizona. People who do go there: Going to the University of Arizona was the best decision I have made in my life.
