Berkeley goggles 

Similar to the beer goggles effect, a person which one would not find typically attractive is seen as attractive. This effect is a cause of the UC Berkeley bubble, where a lesser amount of typically attractive people exist. Another factor included is the envelopment of academia connected to a decline in one's social life.
Me: At first I didn't think (insert name here) was so cute, but there is something different about them this semester.

Friend: Looks like you're sporting the Berkeley goggles now. You've been in the Berkeley bubble too long. At least your option has a good personality.

Berkeley bum 

Someone who will stop you as you walk and tell you:

a) You look good, son. Naw, naw don't leave, I jus wanna talk ta ya...

b) I will take verbal abuse for change

among many other statements. They will often smoke weed or crack right on the street, and the cops don't care. They have an 'ignore the bums' policy.

These bums will often wander onto campus to have enlightening conversations about the bible, only to pass out in the middle of a pathway.

They are generally nice people, some even have advanced degrees, but somewhere along the line (around 1967-1975) they just fucked up and couldn't recover. Most of the sleep in people's park.
Paco: Yo G, you see that Berkeley bum?

Jaime: Yeah, how'd he get all the way down to Stockton?

Paco: Shit if I know, but he taught me about the space-time continuum, I feel like I might go back to school.

Jaime: Yeah, they are pretty smart, but yet they don't do shit with their lives 'cept create elaborate radio mixing equipment next to Top Dog.

UC Berkeley 

A place where you run a 50% chance of getting your bike stolen, a 65% chance of getting your computer jacked, and 100% chance of compromising on all your conservative values. Still, you will reflect on your time there with the same nostalgia once sung by Bryan Adams- "Those were the best years of my life."
You: I was gone for 10 minutes, came back to my table in the library, and my computer was gone.

Officer: What did you expect? This is UC Berkeley.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
