Ithaca Slap

Everyone gets a shot of whiskey and stands in a huge circle. The first person takes a shot and gets slapped by the person to their right. The person that just slapped someone then takes their shot and gets slapped by the person to THEIR right. This goes continuously until all shots have been taken and all faces have been slapped.

**Usually happens at an after-party for Roller Derby, but can happen at any time/any place where whiskey is present.
Everyone grab a shot of whiskey, it's time for some Ithaca Slaps!!!

Ithaca College School of Music 

The Ithaca College School of Music is comprised half of ridiculous talent and half of compete insanity.

Pretty much every faculty member is an urban legend and a ridiculous virtuoso. The faculty includes, but is not limited to: John "tavakididama" White, Pablo "The Most Interesting Man in the World" Cohen, Bradley "Sass" Hougham, David "Eroica Dynamite" Pacun, Frank "Keep It in the Family" Campos, Dave "The Wizard" Unland, Ed "Pianoforte" Swenson, Mark "Look at my pecs" Radice, Jeffrey "Hector Berlioz" Meyer, John "He's not so much a pianist as he is a state of mind" Stetch, etc.

The music school intentionally removed all of the vending machines some years ago because they realized their students would not leave the building otherwise.

The school of music is at its classiest during its annual Christmas concert, "Ford Fest." On this special day, the practice rooms transform into an open bar and opium den.

All in all, a utopia of musicality.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
