Refers to a student who is a part of the Bucknell University community...in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. It’s no secret though—Bucknell has a freakish amount of “really, really, ridiculously beautiful” people, all clad in typical east coast Ralph Lauren and Vineyard Vines attire.
Work hard, play hard mentality. Huge greek life, everyone goes out has a mad good time, but everybody is also an intellectual with ambitions outside of the party scene.
"what the hell does it mean to be a bucknellian?"
"you gotta work hard, party hard, and look good while doing both"
Father of the Game industry. Period. Started Atari, made pong (thogh some say he copied it from a designer who helped make magnaxox's odyssey, this has never been proven) and had a hand in creating the Atari 2600, the first truly influential game system.
To get bitch-slapped by a team with only 5 scholarship players when you're ranked #1 in RPI and #5 overall in the country. Usually saved for NCAA tournament flameouts, but can be used for regular season clams, as well.
Kansas had high hopes for their team in the post-season, but then they got Bucknelled and went home.
most expensive (liberal arts) (college) ($54,000/ yr) there is. The students here are unusally (preppy)- seven jeans, burberry, and ralph lauren clothes are sold at the bookstore and can get charged on the (student) ID. Kids get drunk, particpating in acts of debauchery most nights a week (especially wednesdays)...The best (frat) consists of sig ep...Hm... thats about it- Oh and Bucky the Bison is a real person. Hes in phi psi.
"Dude, I got into Bucknell"
"Damn.. How'd you get into there? I heard it was mad difficult and the parties are awesome.."
Something that is reminiscent of the fiction works of Candice Bushnell, author of "Sex in the City" and other books about crazed, self-absorbed ladies.
"Lisa, your crippling obsession with shoes and men is extremely bushnellian."
"that new show? on nbc? lipstick jungle? totally bushnellian"
