A pejorative term for King's College London, generally used by students at its rival institution, University College London. The term manages to convey a sense of KCL's being mediocre in both academic and social terms: a polytechnic was, in the UK, a college offering mainly vocational degrees, widely considered to be inferior to the older universities, and with an attached social stigma. The Strand is the London street where 'Strand Poly' has its main campus (although it has spread to the South Bank and beyond.)

a type of hairstyle comprising all the hair slicked back from the face (usually in a ponytail) except for two strands, often the same length as the rest of the hair, taken from the two top corners of the forehead and left to dangle "fashionably". Very often this hair has not seen shampoo in weeks and when squeezed would probably be able to dress a garden salad. This hairstyle is generally sported by the kind of girl who you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole, mainly because there is every danger the ten-foot pole would disappear SOMEWHERE and the girl wouldn't even break a sweat.
Person 1: How should I wear my hair tonight?
Person 2: Maybe straighten it. Anything but slut strands!
