The purgatory of the Greater Cincinnati Area.

The College of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning at the University of Cincinnati is where all the cool, well-dress, and talented kids in Cincinnati go to school. Students are worked nearly to death, never sleep, and develop some type of addiction before graduation (weed, alcohol, coke, abuse), and somehow miss it when they go on internship quarters. DAAP students all promptly leave Cincinnati after graduation to live in better cities like New York, Seattle, and New Orleans.

DAAP is my abusive boyfriend. I tried to leave once, but I missed the torture so much I just had to go back and finish (otherwise I'll never get out of this town).

daaptastic 

synonyms: daapful

(adj.) a sarcastic combination of fantastic and the DAAP program at the University of Cincinnati. Primarily used to refer derogatively to scenesters with high hopes of ambition soon to be crushed by their complete lack of artistic ability. May also refer to the building itself, which, having no right corners, is incapable of being mapped for the purposes of finding a classroom.
(1): That soup can on the wall might be considered an homage to Andy Warhol. However, Andy Warhol did it first, making the copy looking daaptastic.

(2): Person 1: Did you get lost in DAAP?

Person 2: I went out a door that led out to a grassy knoll and did not have a handle so I could not get back in. Daaptastic!

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
