knickerbocker

A total cheapskate, especially when it comes to making sure to use every possible coupon and special offer--from our Dutch heritage and longtime association with Scots (Presbyterian) churches.

Washington Irving used our name in his satirical writings and played on the stereotype of cheapness, but ironically it wound up being turned right around into a sort of icon of upper-crust New York society! Don't be fooled by Ward McAllister's Four Hundred; a true Knickerbocker would never waste the bucks on the attire required to enter Mrs. Astor's ballroom.
Look, you can afford the cover charge, don't be such a knickerbocker about it.

Wiess College

Formerly all-male residential college at Rice University, originally a showcase of Brutalist architecture, used to be selected mostly for science and engineering majors, was known as the Animal House of Rice, home of the Halloween party called NoD.
Probably never spoken at Wiess College: Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty Wiessman!

NoD

Night of Decadence, Halloween party at Wiess College celebrating Sparky the Hooter and long noted for its high alcohol content.
Remember the Caligula-themed NoD where a 10-foot Sparky was plunged into Muffy the Volcano?
