An allusion to the “Hoovervilles” of 1930s America, in which university students must live in makeshift housing because the Department of Housing and Residential Life has failed to provide adequate living space. (Named after Denise Trauth, the 9th president of Texas State University)
San: “Did you hear that they closed Elliot Hall?”
Marcos: “Yeah, DHRL is gonna have to set up Trauth-Towns.”
Because Texas is living in a study room, she lives in a Trauth-Town.

The word many non-Chicagoans use to describe Chicago, but end up sounding lame because most Chicagoans think they're talking about China Town. Similar to how non-Chicagoans use the term "Willis Tower," but get nothing from that because Chicagoans never use that term unless they work there. (Real life experience.)

Boy: Uh, sorry, I'm allergic to Chinese food.
Girl: I mean Chicago!
Boy: Is that what they call us? The world is ending!
