Clarkson University 

A small private university in the state of New York about 5 hours north of civilization. While some consider us a prestigious institution, we accept about 77% of applicants (the remaining 23% were accepted to SUNY Canton) which makes us one of "those" colleges. Despite these facts, our mostly male student body has a level of cockiness and arrogance that is unmatched to anything in this cold dark god forsaken area of New York State. We often look down at the neighboring students of SUNY Potsdam, even though their acceptance rate is about 63%, as if we went to an ivy league school. The sad thing is, our tuition (over $50k a semester) is comparable to an Ivy League school's tuition. The only difference is; you have all heard of the ivy league schools, no one has heard of Clarkson University. While our rich parents were not rich enough to get our dumb asses into a better school, they are rich enough to send us to Potsdam NY to suffer in the cold weather, as punishment for bringing them great shame.
Harvard Student: Hey bro! I'm so excited, I got accepted to a really good school!

Clarkson Student: I bet my school is better, I just got accepted to Clarkson University. (with pinky up)

Harvard Student: HA!

Clarkson University 

A place in where there is an unbalanced guy to girl ratio. But a private university where engineers and business majors strive. Our Hockey teams are phenomenal. Our rival SlU is the more preppy pretend high class version of what Clarkson has to offer. At Clarkson we are more academic then slutty.

Go Golden Knights!!!
When you come to Clarkson University your guaranteed a job.

Clarkson University 

A university that strives to be number one in trumping St. Lawrence University. However, it is only known for its hockey and dissing St. Lawrence University because people do not know about Clarkson outside of Clarkson alum. May be a good engineering school, but lacks the broad minded thinking that students of a liberal arts school has.
You are totally a hockey bumb! That's totally Clarkson University!

A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
