Northwestern

A socially-OK 4-year college just north of Chicago, IL, USA. Student body is composed of fair-to-poor athletes, dateless engineers-in-training, and those who are, for some reason, studying Radio, Television, and Film. Its women's lacrosse team is well known for its footwear. Not to put too fine a point on it: Charlotte Rae and David Schwimmer went there.

a word to characterize New England's spontaneous and harsh weather; a fierce snowfall that hits hard and doesn't last a particularly long amount of time
Six inches of snow in 10 minutes... that was quite a northeaster!

Northwestern State University

Northwestern State University. NSU. A 4 year university located in Natchitoches, LA. Home of the Demons. The symbol of their school is a set of 3 columns left over from a plantation home that burned on the land. NSU was established in 1884. NSU is also home to a ghost by the name of Isabella. Legend tells that she lived in the plantation home that burned. Today NSU is known for its fantastic football team, and their mascot Vic was featured on Spike TV when someone recorded Vic and an opposing mascot having a fist fight during a game. When people say they went to Northwestern many people confuse it with the school located in Illinois.
I went to Northwestern State University. No, not the Northwestern in Illinois.

Sasquawk Northwesternus

n. the sub-group of humans known to live and sometimes thrive in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and whom are often recognized by their frequent caterwauling, kvetching, nagging, squealing and grousing about the weather.
The Sasquawk Northwesternus is an enigma. A contradiction. They can be seen in full dress in the heat, complaining that it is too hot and conversely, dressed down and even in short pants while snow falls, thusly complaining about the cold.

Northwestern University

The school so named because it happens to be northwest of the University of Chicago.
Person 1: Hey, why's that school called 'Northwestern University'? Seems kinda dumb.

Person 2: There was already a way awesomer school called the University of Chicago. Guess they couldn't get creative.
