A Liberal Arts college in the US, with two campuses: one in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and a needlessly preppy one, populated mostly by sophists. Famous for its approach to liberal arts, focus on great books, and its incredibly uncomfortable, but visually iconic, "Johnnie" chairs. Blackboards are everywhere at the college, and any attempt to change this policy is always crushed with extreme prejudice.
Students of the college are called Johnnies., and in place of professors, instructors are called tutors. This is because they are supposed to be on the journey of intellectual discovery with the students, rather than talking down to them. This is, most certainly, always the case, and tutors have never been known to give lectures in the middle of class to explain exactly why a particular school of thought is fundamentally incorrect because they entirely disregard the writings of one obscure thinker, the essays of whom said tutor will be happy to provide to the interested.
St. John's has no tests or exams. All students are evaluated through their writing and performance in discussion. To deal with the stress and anxiety which comes with much of the work of the college, many Johnnies smoke and engage in extreme forms of Bacchic revelry on a weekly to biweekly basis.
Contrary to popular belief regarding liberal arts degrees, Johnnies go into a variety of fields, mostly in education, academia, or corporate sophistry(commonly known to the uninitiated as the legal profession).

"Where are you going to college again?"
"Oh, I go to St. John's College in Santa Fe."
"Never heard of it."
"I'm not surprised."
Family member:"What do you guys even do at St. John's?"
Johnnie who has learned that most people are either totally disinterested in the truly meaningful parts of their studies and has lost all faith in the ability of most people to have serious conversations: "We read lots of books."

Get the St. John's College mug.The 35th and the greatest president ever. If that dickwad didn't shoot him, he would have probably made America 10 times better and made world peace. He was also the only president NOT to be full of shit. He probably stopped another world war by fixing the missile crisis. He was also a World War II Veteran. He saved the lives of himself and another soldier by swimming to an island with the backpack strap of another man clenched between his teeth.

Get the john cena meme mug.John W Henry is the cheapskate owner of Liverpool Football Club and the Boston Red Sox. Instead of putting money into Liverpool’s team he’d rather buy himself his 50th yacht. Usually goes behind fans’ backs in search of more greed with the prime example being the European Super League, which he only backed out after being slaughtered by the fans, ex players and media.
He has divided the Liverpool fanbase to people who are FSGIN or FSGOUT. FSGIN these days consist of top red weirdos who would rather see the club fail to prove a point against people who are FSGOUT. They’re usually smelly middle aged men with no hair and no teeth, best to ignore them.
He upped ticket prices, furloughed lfc staff during the pandemic, has sold star players in the past and even tried to copyright the name Liverpool. The man has stayed here for too long and the club has outgrown him, he should sell up and stick to baseball and yachts.

LFC Fan 1: “Where’s the money John?”
LFC Fan 2: “He spent it on a new yacht.”
LFC fan 1: “Same old John W Henry, always out for greed.”
