UChicago

Although lesser known than its peer institutions like Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, and Yale, the University of Chicago is a place so nerdy and intellectually stimulating that it leaves you feeling like you've been beaten over the head by Aristotle while the dead hands of Milton Friedman shove an economics textbook down your throat. First years walk in as brainy little dorks and graduate as big burly scholarly men. AT THIS SCHOOL, YOU WILL LEARN WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

Albert: Hey, Bart! We're going to a frat party tonight. Want to join?
Bart: Nah, thanks for asking but I have to work on this problem set for complex analysis.
Albert: Oh man, that's so UChicago of you.

Where you go if you want to put in the same amount of work you would've at Harvard, but for a 3.3 instead of a 3.9. Grade deflation is real, and it's a menace.

Everyone who goes to UChicago comes to regret it.

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
