Term used to describe the lowering of standards of physical attractiveness which almost inevitably occurs when attending the University of Michigan. The phenonemon is caused by a prolonged exposure of the male student population to a mostly unattractive female student body (i.e a
five becomes a
nine because the highest number is a
six). Only in leaving the Ann Arbor campus are the goggles removed and the
true distortion of the level of physical attractiveness realized.
Ted: "Wow, I visited Michigan State last weekend and the girls are so much hotter. I
never realized how
fugly (and snobby) the girls in Ann Arbor are."
Ted's
friend: "Dude, its the U of M goggles."
