Dormitive

It’s an adjective and it means having the effect of inducing sleep and can be applied to a number of different things, certain lessons, lectures, speakers, conversations, subjects, books, you get the idea. Anything that can cause you to fall asleep is dormitive, some things are so dormitive that you start losing the will to live, yes I know, we’ve all been there.

Malcolm started telling me about his weekend, so dormitive Jenny had to wake me.

dormitat

1. When a dorm room becomes so humid, hot, messy, and odorous that it is impossible to tell if it's a dormitory or a conservatory, as if an animal was living there.

2. When a person becomes so introverted and attached to their dorm, they are rarely seen outside their natural dormitat.

1. Stephanie let her dorm get so messy through semester 1, it became her natural dormitat, complete with moss, fungus, and her offspring.

2. Herbert was so into his studies, he was nicknamed Panda because he was never seen outside his bamboo-decorated dormitat.

Dorbist

Derived from the phrase "Don't Rock the Boat" (DoRB), Dorbist is a term used (as either noun or adjective) to describe the tendency inherent in senior managers, or others with a stake in a system, to take no action to improve services, address problems or tackle problematic people/issues that are obvious to those working under them.

Someone exhibiting reluctance to act when faced with obvious problems or other negative consequences flowing from the poor/misguided/ill-informed decisions of their seniors.

Derived from Dorbism: a reluctance to act as an agent for positive change due to the perceived risk that such action will be viewed negatively by superiors, or those perceived as having 'power' or influence (including the press)

Despite the Government's recent cuts in funding for education, it is clear that most university Vice Chancellors are Dorbist from their relative silence on the matter.

The inherent Dorbism of my boss is clear from her complete passivity in the face of recent staff redundancies

Creekside Dormitory (formerly known as Simkins)

The secluded, only all-male dorm at the University of Texas. It houses about 200 men and resides in the Northeast edge of campus. It was formerly known as Simkins until 2010, when the board discovered that the man was an avid member of the KKK. Most of the residents hate themselves for waiting until mid-May to apply for housing once they arrive on campus. Several residents were forced to live here by their moms because it's not co-ed, and therefore the only "conservative" dorm at UT. This dorm is a sick joke and blows for many different reasons:

1) There are two dining centers on campus and Creekside is equidistant from both. A 10-minute walk up-hill.
2) There are no other dorms by Creekside; the only things close by are a museum and a parking garage.
3) There are off-campus hoodlums that come by at night and cut bike-locks to steal our means of transportation.
4) There are these fucking gnats that occupy a space above the sidewalk to Jester everyday.
5) The immense amounts of pubic hair that get piled on the shower floors.
6) The builders conveniently placed the door hinges for the closet on the wrong side. You have to cram against your drawer just to open the door.

The good things:
1)Its close to a nine-hole municipal golf-course.
2) There's an xbox and a broken 52-inch TV upstairs.
3) There's always a game of Dungeons and Dragons going on in the entertainment room. Cheez-its all-around.
4) There's a group of guys that sometimes smoke a hookah outside at night.

(person #1) "Yo dawg, look at those two losers bouncing a basketball to each other on the sidewalk."

(person #2) "Oh yah man that's Creekside Dormitory (formerly known as Simkins), the shittiest dorm at UT. Only losers stay there."

(person #1) "Oh shit. That blows."

Example #2
(person #1) "Hi my name is so-and-so."

(person #2) "Nice to meet you, my name's so-and-so. I live in Jester...it sucks. Where do you live?"

(person #1) "Oh ok Jester's not that bad. I live in Creekside."

(person #2) "Never heard of it."

(person #1) "It used to be named after a guy named Simkins. He was in the KKK."

Example #3 (60 years ago)

(person #1) "Yo dumbass, you put the door hinges on the wrong side of the closet."

(person #2) "Oh shit...well, it don't matter. It's Simkins."

(person #1) "Oh ya. That's true."
