alumnoid

alumnoid (noun): resembling or having the form of an alumnus

An alumnoid is someone who gives every outward indication of having attended or graduated from a particular college or university, but in fact has not. Identifying traits include: owning and wearing multiple articles of a single college’s logo gear; rooting for the college’s sports team with greater enthusiasm than do allumni…or players…or cheerleaders; steering casual and unrelated conversations to include the school, irrespective of topic. “I thought Chad went to Duke, because he’s always wearing a Duke sweatshirt and freaking about about their basketball team, but it turns out he’s just an alumnoid.”

Aluminoid 

Aluminoid is a person(s)that converge on events surrounding a major sporting event. Aluminoids will at all cost seek out and retrieve any left behind can(s) or bottle(s) with "deposit" marked on them. The only bottle or can that is safe are those in ones hand. Those left on the ground, a table, trash can or on the bumper of a car are fair game. After feeding on cans and bottles, they converge in mass on the local bottle or can return venue. They are particularly active around major college football venues before and after a game.

The Aluminoid's arrived at the tailgate party grabbing all the cans on the ground then proclaim "any cans?" before leaving to feast on the next location.
