Over a century ago, an interscholastic athletic league was formed by Harvard, Yale, Columbia and Princeton. It was officially known as the "Four League." The Roman numeral "IV" was often used instead of the word four and the term "IV League" came into use. When spoken, the IV was spelled out and sounded like "Ivy League." Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell and Pennsylvania were the major opponents of the IV league, and in the early 1900's were members of the league.
IV is pronounced Ivey

Get the Ivy League mug.The point in a large corporation at which you cannot proceed up the ladder for lack of an ivy league degree. Talent will not take you past this point, only your pedigree and connections. It's one of the few ceilings that you can see; it looks like the incompetent, but connected assholes in the c-suites.

Get the pubic ivy mug.Phrase used in the workplace to hide the fact you're having an interview. For example, you turn up to work wearing a suit for an interview and your colleagues obviously know something is up. So you divert the attention with a little misdirection.
"Oi, why you so dressed up today? You never wear a suit and tie, what's going on?"
"Oh, after work me and the Mrs going to the Ivy"
"Oh ok, why you dressed up now though?"
"Won't have time straight after work, going straight there, posh place innit!"
