Spiders have spun a web of words that only we understand. These words resonate through campus on a daily basis.
1. 8:15
It's 8:15 somewhere. Students come to this on-campus coffee shop with a latte on their mind for a study break.
2. Triceragoose
Beware of Triceragoose! This resident monster goose will move off of the sidewalk for no one and likes to chase small freshman.
3. Lou's
Our good friend Lou makes the best Red Pepper Gouda Soup and just happens to have a cafe on campus in his name.
4. Gotty
We call it "Gotty" because it sounds cooler than "Gottwald." In the Gottwald building, Science majors are just living the Gotty life.
5. Dhall
"Dining hall" is too long and pedestrian.
6. Lodges
Our lodges aren't cabins made of logs, and our camouflage consists of fun leggings and fanny packs instead of brown and green hunting bibs.
7. Passport
Don't pass by Passport. Passport isn't just something you need to bring with you to another country; it's a cafe that serves sushi and gelato.
8. Lodge Hop
After knowing what a lodge is, this is self-explanatory.
9. Spiderbytes
The only thing that is certain about your day is receiving these emails...even in the summer.
10. Jersey Dirt
It's hard to explain this tasty delicacy to outsiders.
11. Big Big
Calling your big's big a "G-Big" or a "Grand-Big" makes her sound really old.
12. Toucan
Oh, Toucan is also the name of a bird and not just a club?
13. Fishbowl
Although they do serve fishbowls with colorful drinks, Fishbowl is a club that holds schools of college students instead of goldfish.
14. Spider Card
Referring to your student ID card as an "ID Card" or "Swipe" is for peasants. We have come up with a unique name for our plastic rectangles.
15. Getty
"Getty Run" should be added to our Tuesday, Thursday schedules as The Getty has everything a college student could need for a weekend.
As majors in slanguage, we have come up with a unique language that depicts the real meaning of these words. If you haven't used all of the words on this list, do you even go to UR?
