harvard

The school you would have gone to in a second had you been accepted. Frequently ranked best college in the world. Also, unfairly criticized by many for rejecting them. See envy. Apparently, the (insert your mediocre school) of the east.

I wish I had been accepted to Harvard, but instead, I'll take my anger out at them for my shortcomings.

Harvard University

the school that gets their ass whooped by Cornell University's ice hockey team

Students who don't attend Harvard University:
Person1: Cornell's hockey team is so badass, they don't even need an example.
Person2: Woah. That's badass.

Harvard Terminology

Harvard Terminology is the ambiguous grouping of words, typically in response to an inquiry requiring action, who’s objective is to leave the inquirer with sufficient hope to stifle the inquiry. This fleeting hope is usually followed by confusion and bewilderment regarding the true nature of this cruel response.

Ryland: Hey Stacy, what are you doing tonight? Would you like to go to a movie and grab a bite? Or maybe if you're not doing anything this weekend we could go to the beach. Let me know what works for you.

Stacy: That sounds like fun.

Ryland: You know, everytime you use Harvard Terminology, a baby turtle dies.

Harvard Yarding

When a person performs a horrible attempted mimic of an accent whenever they hear a word commonly associated with said accent.

I hate that whenever Bill hears somebody mention anything about Boston, he just starts harvard yarding "Bahsten" for no reason!

Harvard Westlake

A ritzy school in L.A. where a third of the kids are Asian, 'cause you have to be smart. Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah are school holidays. And the rest are movie stars' kids or their parents own one-third of Sony.

High-pressure place. People cry because they didn't get into AP chemistry.

Has a sushi chef.

Don't go all Harvard Westlake on me. Your exam isn't till next week.
