10 definitions by boss hamilton
last definition for this word was shitty and pretentious.
the Inter-Ac Tuxedo is a theory, not a precise outfit. it takes different shapes as the earth rotates and the seasons change. in the summer, "the Tux" sees backward New Era hats for all teams other than the Phillies. During Summer days, baggy Jordan shorts, black nike socks, nikeID dunks, and killer UVA lax pinnys are worn. But during summer nights, gr8 brands like Lacoste get paired with pink Polo hats and rockstar shades.
in the winter, the tux takes on a new form. Fresh off the conclusion of another action packed InterAc football season, sluggers from THS, MP, PC, and GA will throw on their letterman jackets, celebrating their 8 game seasons in style, and reminiscing over the narrow victory over a Philadelphia Public League Team.

Yo check out James 'Chip' Barrington, he's across the street in his The Haverford School: '08 InterAc Champs: The Perfect Season (5-3 record) letterman jacket. What an iscariot. Hate to see him in an Inter-Ac Tuxedo, instead of a delco tuxedo

A style of dress replete with accessories and raiment from top to bottom. The tuxedo is adapted by both male and females. the female version is as follows:
face: gucci sunglasses. this is a virtual given
dress: expensive, preferably black. shiny. low cut, so off as much legs as possible. inherently slutty.
footwear: heels. uncomfortable. (nota bene-during the day heels are exchanged for birkenstocks or uggs)
handbag: expensive, large, leather. screams of slut and trust fund (inside handbag typically is a credit card with access to the trust fund)
males:
hat: LA Dodgers most frequently. NEVER a Phillies hat.
face: infrequent sunglasses usage
shirt: ranges in variety. Quite often a Jordan jumpman t-shirt, even if they have never played a second of competitive basketball. Pinnies of their respective school are also frequently worn (quite often by those that have performed pullups on scaffolding in center city). Polo shirts make their appearance as well.
shorts: cargo in the summer, jeans in the winter.
(nota bene-some people who wear iac tuxedos are too large for cargo shorts (those 6'5 and over) and are subsequently relegated to gym shorts and a pinny)
socks: black nike crew socks, pulled up high
shoes: new balance, gray. (often times "jumpman" tuxedos will be accompanied by Nike Dunks created on Nikeid). For certain occasions, birkenstocks.

1. yo, check out that broad in the inter-ac tuxedo. she just went into the cosi.
2. oh my god, that kid in the inter-ac tuxedo over there was first team all league at The Haverford School! There are only 5 teams in the league, so its a real prestigious selection. He is definitely not from Delaware County

Phrase used in certain parts of Delaware county to combat cognitive dissonance. Typically used in retaliation when facts are laid out that combat elements of an individuals masculinity or self identity. For example, a St. Eugene’s kid that feels uncomfortable about going to Ohara instead of Bonner for any number of reasons might tell his friend - rather than saying “fuck off danny” - “leave ohara out of it Danny.”
My parents both voted for Biden and are members at overbrook country club , that’s our issue. But leave ohara out of it you pussy.

A delco minute is the term used for the period of time from January 10th-February 1st every calendar year in Delaware County. In contrast to the popular term new york minute, a delco minute lasts much longer than a minute; for some, it seems to last a lifetime. The delco minute is the time period each winter when 8th graders throughout Delaware County are faced with the difficult choice of deciding which high school in the county to attend. For some, family finances dictate a need for public school. But for many other young people throughout the county, they must decide before the end of a delco minute whether or not to disgrace themselves by enrolling at an inter-ac school the next fall, or going the pure route of a Catholic Education. The delco minute ends when parents submit a deposit to a local private school, or fill out the paper work for public school. the months leading up to a delco minute can be very stressful for some; St. Joseph's Prep has become increasingly selective in recent years, and now rejects most applicants. This means that some kids are forced after January 10th to consider enrolling at inferior schools, such as Malvern Prep or Monsignor Bonner. When a student who could not get into the The Prep enrolls at Malvern, he is subsequently termed a J Crew Catholic.
It is January 10th, and I have received all my high school acceptance letters. The delco minute has formally begun, now I have to spend the rest of the month determining if I want to wear an inter-ac tuxedo or a delco tuxedo for the next four years. Since I am a Hohenzollern fascist, I think I will enroll at the Haverford School and try to get plowed in the ass for the next four years.

A delco tuxedo is a system of dress popularized in Delaware county, particularly those communities east of Springfield and south of Drexel Hill (although the tuxedo is not as common in communities north of Drexel Hill, it has been seen in certain sections of Havertown, hardmore, and Drexel Hill itself). The tuxedo varies by season, and is characterized as best:
Spring/Summer Delco tuxedo featuring Notre Dame Fighting Irishman (on right calf), jean shorts or Jordan Brand basketball shorts, Timberland Boots or Jordan Brand sliders (typically Carolina blue), beater or baggy white t-shirt or Catholic grade school t-shirt (with sleeves cut off; e.g. a St. Eugene alumnus).
Fall/Winter Delco Tuxedo featuring baggy sweatpants (typically a light, never a heather, gray-also, spitter and cigs protruding from left and right pockets respectively), Bonner Rugby Sweatshirt (the green stench is always represented), and Timberland Boots (if there is no snow outside, an expensive pair of Jordan Brand sneakers can be substituted)
The delco tuxedo is NOT to be confused with delco sunday best, an entirely different (albeit similar) system of raiment. Additionally, in protestant sections of delaware county, mainly those accessible via Lancaster Avenue, the inter-ac tuxedo is the dominant system of dress.

There is nothing better than Memorial Day Weekend in Wildwood with my brothers from Delaware County. We all get to prance around with our freshly minted irish man tattoos, and can finally trade our Timbs for some fresh Jordan slides, a pure delco tuxedo.
