Cylinder shaped cord residence hall at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Virtually everyone that does not go to the school refers to this building as "the beer can" but no one who goes there actually does. The 12 floors alternate between boys and girls. This residence hall is known for exorbitant amounts of dorm drinking and is where all the stoners and belligerent drinkers live. You can catch kids shotgunning beers in the showers or yacking in the communal bathroom. Overall a wonferful place to live with a great community feel to it that is accepting of everyone.
Non-Marquette student: Yo, do you live in the "beer can"
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
