Hilltern 

(Noun) Hilltern: an undergrad that interns on Capitol Hill. Easily recognized by their backpack and suit combination and air of supremacy tangible from a mile away. The Hilltern is a sexually voracious species- when two rats are placed in the same room for a prolonged period of time, they attempt o procreate. This is known as the Hilltern Principle (Everybody, 2015). Hilltern behavioral patterns include: standing on the left side on escalators, whining about metro delays, wearing a suit every day to class even though said intern is not interning that day, mentioning their future presidency and dad's money, and contributing nothing of value to society.

How to approach a Hilltern:

The Hilltern is not a fearless creature and is easily frightened by other Hillterns with a more desirable position, and is also easily frightened by loud noises. They will scurry away at the smallest threat. Threat level: 0.
"Being a Hilltern is great. I get to work on Capitol Hill and contribute to society. I'm really learning a lot at my internship on the Hill."
"You play on your phone the whole day. You literally do nothing."
"Did I mention I intern on the Hill?"

Hiltz Things 

Actions that are so ridiculous that they have to be seen in order to actually be believed . Hiltz Things can be summed up as absurd actions done by someone who is just one crazy motherfucker, they are well outside the realm of natural human thought.
getting a concussion by falling down the stairs, backslapping people obnoxiously loud, screaming at groups of people, making a sperm of your history teacher, and brushing your teeth while ordering at Wendy's are all example of Hiltz Things

Hilltopping 

Drinking at a completely inappropriate time or in an innappropriate place, such as during class, at a funeral, in the library, during a sports match (if you are playing) nine in the morning during finals week.
This term is a reference to the Denison University Hilltoppers, the men's acappella group (who are notorious for drinking in innapropriate occasions), but honestly a good percentage of the campus is equally guilty. Plus, we love them so, so it's okay. Sort of.
