A pejorative term for King's College London, generally used by students at its rival institution, University College London. The term manages to convey a sense of KCL's being mediocre in both academic and social terms: a polytechnic was, in the UK, a college offering mainly vocational degrees, widely considered to be inferior to the older universities, and with an attached social stigma. The Strand is the London street where 'Strand Poly' has its main campus (although it has spread to the South Bank and beyond.)

Get the emily the strange mug.An 'ethnicon' (ethnic icon) used to refer to Arabs or Middle-Eastern travelers who immigrated to the US in recent years amidst the growing wave of terrorist attacks that has led many average, terrornoid American citizens to become concerned about their country's 'air-border' security.
Capps (Computer-assisted passenger prescreening system)/ US-VISIT (US-Visitor & Immigrant Status Indicator), are some of the new, computerized methods for 'profiling' the new comers.
These methods have made it possible for the TSC (Terrorist Screening Center) to make large, biometric database files in what has been termed 'soft intelligence' operations all over US airports complete with issued e-passports.
Now (irony has its day!), there is a new segregatory system in America that very soon you'll be on an escalator in an airport somewhere in the US, while poor schlub Arab hunheads are on another seperate one! You are the 'trusted traveler' who's been 'reverse-profiled' by this kind of neo-racism!

The post-9/11 'ticking-time bomb' theory of immanent suspect terrorist threat, justified the use of any method including TFRs (temporary flight restrictions), free-forms (witnesses' description of oriental-looking face whom might prove to be a hiding active terrorist in a city), in order to close the 'security gap' created by the attacks... has made a danger stranger out of many Arabs arriving in US airports.
