Swarthmore 

1) A small, liberal arts college southwest of Philadelphia, founded in 1864 by the Religious Society of Friends but no longer affiliated with them officially. Swarthmore College is known for its rigorous academic program, which has prompted its students to adopt the unofficial motto "Anywhere else it would have been an A." Swarthmore students do have fun in addition to their schoolwork, but when asked, they find it easier to complain that they don't.
2) The town in which Swarthmore College is located.

Swarthmore 

Small liberal arts college outside of Philadelphia, well known for its academic rigor and an eyebrow-raisingly unattractive student body. Identity politics plus social ineptitude often leads to petty dislikes morphing into accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. etc.

In short, the greatest anti-reality check you will ever meet.

Student 2, dead earnest: You know that's really racist.

Recent graduates of elite east coast liberal arts colleges whose refined conversation and smarmy demeanor is used to elevate themselves to a plateau of masturbatory self congratulation of his or her sophisticated cultural taste and, by effect, your lack of relevant knowledge about anything that matters, in film, literature, or what have you.
That swathmorian prick thinks he knows just about everything.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
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.
