University of Illinois 

a crappy team with no heart that relies on pure luck and paying the refs to call the game for them. Runners up to UNC a couple of year ago but got there by many cheap fouls which were never called in the arizona regional final game. Home of loud cocky fans who don't know when theyve lost or cheated and home of wannabe basketball players who can't play for shit.
University of Illinois paid the refs to let them beat Arizona, even after fouling channing frye.

University of Illinois at Chicago

UIC is an acronym: University Impossible to Complete! UIC is located at the Chicago campus of University of Illinois. (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE for science/medical/technical majors. The exception is music/art history etc majors... majors for fun and to meet the pro bono humanities requirements). If you like a huge school that is too hard, UIC is the school for you!
Example:

I went to University of Illinois at Chicago to learn. Instead I got kicked out, the mission impossible song stuck in my head, and owe half of my future life earnings.

(UIC)An amazing downtown university experience with quality education, conveniently located for internships (...and concerts/ clubs/ shopping/ restaurants etc!). Living off campus with friends is less expensive, and perfect for inviting study groups, and of course throwing parties!

Home to the largest population of apparently friendly city pigeons who have the right of way on campus. Similarly, students jay walk into traffic any time they darn well please! There's no UIC football team... Chicago is sports PARADISE! Go Bulls, Da Bears, Cubs OR Sox, Blackhawks! There might be a UIC basketball team, but students generally don't care. There is also an AMAZING workout facility, but the majority of students are too busy to utilize it.

One of the most diverse universities in the world; aka 'University of Indians and Chinese'. This is true of both students and faculty. For example, UIC's world renowned Engineering researchers/professors are there because they speak the universal language of math, NOT because of needless qualifications such as being able to speak English fluently while giving lectures!

Chicago's such a great city, and UIC's an amazingly fun university experience because it's downtown. Parties in Chicago also consist of students from many other great universities in the city, such as DePaul/Loyola!
Q:What sports does University of Illinois at Chicago play?

A:Primarily flippy cup, quarters and beer pong!

"The University of Chicago."
"Sweet, me too! What fast food restaurant are you working at?"
"No, no, not the University of Illinois at Chicago. The University of Chicago. I got a degree in Economics there and now I'm making 120k a year on Wall Street."
"Oh. Would you like fries with that?"

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

Pee Calculus

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.
