department-cest

When one member of an academic department at a university hooks up with another member of the same department.

Considered slightly incestuous because often members of the same department are often an insular social group that work, hang out and often live (roommates) together. Can also lead to a degree of nepotism.

On the other hand, can be quite common or even encouraged due to the lack of interaction with non-members of the department.
If you are going to take time away from your studies for a love life, make it department-cest so you don't get too distracted. Lab or office-cest is off-limits though.

Did you hear Mike and Sally are shacking up? Department-cest!

Sped Department

The Sped Department is the esteemed department that is tasked with controlling the Speds of the world. This is no easy task, and they often must resort to torture, forced confessions, and will turn a blind eye to many heinous crimes. They convene at the start of school every day typically to hand out normal pills to Sped kids.

The Department of Time (DOT) sounds like the Department of Transport. Wait it regulates time travel? Well it may be similar I don't know.
