A slang that is used to represent Harvard students, both undergraduates and graduates, who wears a Harvard
gear, such as Harvard
hat, cap, gloves, shirt, t-shirt, sweater, and sweatshirt, at Harvard-Yale
Game at Yale. The term is not derogatory at all; rather it's a combination of veri from Harvard's Veritas and thug that shows Harvard's superiority over Yale. It can be used as an adjective to represent the excitement and sheer joy of beating Yale at Harvard-Yale
Game.
Look at those verithugs. They so cool.
I wish I could have gotten into
Harvard. I
wanna look like those cool verithugs.
VERITHUG! VERITHUG! We won the
Game!
