Berzerkeley

A slang term used to describe beautiful Berkeley, California, and the total kooks living there. Hippies, yuppies, gays, lesbians, and yanni-loving new age freaks have been converging on this Bay area city since the 60's.

It seems that the social, cultural, and political happenings at UC Berkeley during that time served as the impetus for the mass migration.

Known as a politically & socially liberal mecca, Berzerkeley will always be a favorite destination for freaks from all over the world.
Berzerk + Berkeley = Berzerkeley

Berzerklee

A nickname or "Berklee-ism" for the Berklee College of Music, in Boston, MA.

The phrase was coined by Ear Training guru Mitch Harpers, who is one of Berklee's textbook writers and a distinguished professor at the renowned music institution.

It's a phrase that can be used as a "positive-negative" name for the school, such as "bad" or "wicked" are used in modern American speech, but most often is used in endearing frustration attributed towards the quirks that come with attending a world-class music conservatory; the reasoning behind the statement is often given by students regarding staff members: "Just because you are a good musician, doesn't mean you are a good administrator".
