Harvard Terminology

Harvard Terminology is the ambiguous grouping of words, typically in response to an inquiry requiring action, who’s objective is to leave the inquirer with sufficient hope to stifle the inquiry. This fleeting hope is usually followed by confusion and bewilderment regarding the true nature of this cruel response.

Ryland: Hey Stacy, what are you doing tonight? Would you like to go to a movie and grab a bite? Or maybe if you're not doing anything this weekend we could go to the beach. Let me know what works for you.

Stacy: That sounds like fun.

Ryland: You know, everytime you use Harvard Terminology, a baby turtle dies.

Harvard Yarding

When a person performs a horrible attempted mimic of an accent whenever they hear a word commonly associated with said accent.

I hate that whenever Bill hears somebody mention anything about Boston, he just starts harvard yarding "Bahsten" for no reason!

Harvard Westlake

A ritzy school in L.A. where a third of the kids are Asian, 'cause you have to be smart. Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah are school holidays. And the rest are movie stars' kids or their parents own one-third of Sony.

High-pressure place. People cry because they didn't get into AP chemistry.

Has a sushi chef.

Don't go all Harvard Westlake on me. Your exam isn't till next week.

Harvard Horseshit

Official corporate spin that tries to take a really bad situation and make it sound positive.

Harvard, after losing about 30% of their endowment value:

"In navigating the past year's storm, we developed greater financial flexibility, strengthened our investment team, sharpened our focus and positioned both HMC and the endowment to be robust, steady and, importantly, poised to benefit from growth in the world's economies,"

Jim: that is a pile of harvard horseshit.

Harvard Of The South

Vanderbilt University, possibly the greatest place on Earth. Amazingly hot pussy and definatly the place to go if you want to be drunk for four years and still do something with your life after you graduate.

Vanderbilt is the Harvard Of The South.
