A student slum located west of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Housing is in short supply and cramming three or even four students into a bedroom is common, with some people paying over $1,000 for a "bed space", which is 1/3 of a bedroom. Infrastructure is often poorly maintained, with roads flooding every time it rains. Most people get around by bicycle, and bicyclists break traffic laws with impunity creating a hazard for drivers. The majority of residents are UCSB and SBCC students who throw wild parties every weekend and trash the streets.

I am going to Isla Vista so that I can get wasted, find a bitch on DP, and get layed. I'll wake up the next morning with a STD.

Small quaint island north of Cancun, mexico. Some people go there because it is quieter and not as "americanized" as the hotel sector of cancun.

The acronym for It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time.
First seen 1982 as an opulent over-the-top boat's registered name moored on the river Thames. The owner was on board and we asked him if our guess as to what the name meant was correct. He confirmed. Many of my friends have used the two-word phrase since, for a shortform answer to any question that might deserve it.
Isla Giatt's owner had redundancy pay and a large pension, but was finding it much more costly than he thought, before even registering the vessel on the Thames. Hence its name.

Why buy such an expensive boat that's gonna cost thousanands in mooring fees alone -- then there's licences -- and you'll use it three or four weekends a year!
Isla giatt!

Unusual social disorder that plagues mostly damaged, homosexual males. In it, the affected individual falls madly in-love with his victim on the first date; spending much of the night looking starry-eyed into his face like a wounded puppy. Sappy texts follow the date such as "You're amazing" and "I had the best night ever!". The affected individual is clear in his intention that he's completely "ready" for a relationship and not a game player like the others. He begins using futuristic descriptors such as "when you're my boyfriend" and "when you start staying the night" and corny phraseology such as "I need to see you again for my own selfish purposes". This type of unusual activity lasts anywhere from 24 to 72 hours but usually not more then three days. During this period one or two additional dates may follow but interest for the victim wanes dramatically. The drop-off usually occurs when his victim displays such unsavory traits such as an unfiled fingernail or an eyebrow hair that has gone awry. Perhaps the victim makes mention that he refrains from eating steak or the horrifying revelation that he is simply a regular, nice guy and not some mythical "night in shining armor" figure the affected individual has fabricated in his own mind. Ultimately, the victim is simply blown-off by the affected individual within the three-day period never to be heard from again. Some victims (who buy into this behavior in any degree) are left with a sense of confusion, hurt, and anger.
"Hey Jack, how are things going with that guy you're dating"?
-"Oh man, the guy was a total freak. I really thought he was into me with all those lovey-dovey texts but he just blew me off after our second date. I have no idea what happened...he just did this 180 on me for no reason at all.
"Dang..I'm really sorry Jack. Sounds like a textbook case of that gay social disorder I read about. Islas Syndrome, right?"

A clothing company based in the Northern Mariana Islands. Literal translation is 'Island Life'; a clothing brand that serves to reflect the comfort and constant state of relaxation due to the cool breeze, the smell of barbeque, sound of ocean waves, with the lazy palm trees and coconuts near by.
