- noun
1. An unflattering and even pejorative term for a franchise of schools allegedly responsible for providing tertiary education to students, who are traditionally failed college applicants that consider themselves too intelligent for community college.
2. The world's most awesome oxymoron.
1. "Man, I totally blew off my SAT's and got shafted into DeVry University, but don't tell anyone!"
2. Shannon spent the day brainstorming insulting oxymorons: Rap Music, Military Intelligence, Athletic Scholarship, Modern Art ... but none could top DeVry University!
A private college (not funded by the public purse). As a result, the tuition fees are high; the good side to this is that you won't fuck around when you're spending all that money for the course. DeVry grads are respected and you are virtually guaranteed that you will be able to get a job when you graduate. I have worked with many DeVry grads in my field (electronics) and have found them to be used to hard work, putting in a good effort, achieving results, and doing fine work. Also they are notably on time for meetings and they come prepared.
Oh, the new hire went to DeVry...I can't foresee us having any problems with his/her on-the-job training phase.
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
