St. John's surprise

To refuse to pay a whore after she has provided you with her services. This is a common practice at St. John's University.
I owed the bitch my last $5 but I decided I'd rather spend it on a couple of Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers so I jumped out the window and gave her the old St. John's surprise.

Full of ignorant, rich, white kids at a private high school. They often get butthurt over minor inconveniences such as tucking a shirt in or shaving your face.

St. John's College

Share definition
St. John's college is one of the oldest colleges in the United States. The college has two campuses, on in Maryland and one located in Arizona. The college is famous for it's Great Books curriculum and it's emphasis on the liberal arts. Also, everyone does the exact same major and no one at the college seems to think that's weird.

Students at St. John's at called johnnies and they do not have professors. Instead they have tutors. A St. John's tutor is normally very much like a St. John's student; highly intellectual, quirky, eccentric and either a pot smoker, a regular smoker or a drinker.

Basically if you go to this school you really love old books about old dead people and are the epitome of the intellectual. You probably like tea and mythology too.

St. John's has no test, just oral examinations.

A large percentage of students from St. John's are also admitted to grad school. The ones who do not attend grad school try and find jobs with their liberals arts degrees. So they join the peace corps and shit like that. Or just marry another Johnnie.

If you want to attend St. John's, keep in mind that although they have very high averages for test scores and the like, the admissions committee basically admits you on your essays alone. Everything is secondary.
"Hey, you go to St. John's College?"
"Yeah."
"You like it?"
"Well...like is a relative term...but assuming you're using the same definition I am, which here we shall say means looking fondly upon my experience as a student up until this point, yes."
"Uhm, what are you talking about?"
*gives dirty look*

Girl Jonnie: Hey! Wanna talk about books!"
Boy Jonnie: YES I LOVE THEM
Girl Jonnie: Socrates or Nabakov?
Boy Jonnie: I have an erection

A private school in Houston, Texas. That is very good and challenging to get into. Besides being very intelligent the kids there tend to be exceptional at Field Hockey, Lacrosse and many other things.
Did you hear St. John's School won the Souther Prepatory Conference for field hockey this year?

St. John's University

The professors are the most knowledgeable, down-to-earth people I have ever met. College professors are different than high-school teachers; professors are interested in you, you as a person. Not only this but they are all willing to help, they want the best for your education, and focus more on how much you can learn instead of the grade they have to give. The man in charge of the Honors Program, Dr. Foreman, has a heart merely to listen to his students, and spread his knowledge to them, and makes sure to leave his door open to any student who needs to talk. The students and professors here are sincerely the greatest are slowly shaping me and my entire education into the person I always pictured myself being.
Where is St. John's University?
