St. John's

A New York City university that is best known for basketball players that love to gang-bang middle-aged prostitutes and refuse to pay, thus getting kicked off the team and possibly out of the school. This is all true, check the news.
up north:
Big Tommy: "So what are you in here for."
Grady: "Soliciting prostitution. I didn't have any money so the bitch ratted me out."
Big Tommy: "Yo, Louie, looks like we've got another one of those St. John's kids in here."
Louie: "Give him the usual welcome ceremony."
Big Tommy: "Sure thing."
Grady: "Hey, how'd you know I'm from St. John's?"
Big Tommy: "Shut up. Just drop your pants and bend over, bitch. This'll only take a minute."

St. John's College

A Liberal Arts college in the US, with two campuses: one in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and a needlessly preppy one, populated mostly by sophists. Famous for its approach to liberal arts, focus on great books, and its incredibly uncomfortable, but visually iconic, "Johnnie" chairs. Blackboards are everywhere at the college, and any attempt to change this policy is always crushed with extreme prejudice.

Students of the college are called Johnnies., and in place of professors, instructors are called tutors. This is because they are supposed to be on the journey of intellectual discovery with the students, rather than talking down to them. This is, most certainly, always the case, and tutors have never been known to give lectures in the middle of class to explain exactly why a particular school of thought is fundamentally incorrect because they entirely disregard the writings of one obscure thinker, the essays of whom said tutor will be happy to provide to the interested.

St. John's has no tests or exams. All students are evaluated through their writing and performance in discussion. To deal with the stress and anxiety which comes with much of the work of the college, many Johnnies smoke and engage in extreme forms of Bacchic revelry on a weekly to biweekly basis.

Contrary to popular belief regarding liberal arts degrees, Johnnies go into a variety of fields, mostly in education, academia, or corporate sophistry(commonly known to the uninitiated as the legal profession).
"Where are you going to college again?"
"Oh, I go to St. John's College in Santa Fe."
"Never heard of it."
"I'm not surprised."

Family member:"What do you guys even do at St. John's?"
Johnnie who has learned that most people are either totally disinterested in the truly meaningful parts of their studies and has lost all faith in the ability of most people to have serious conversations: "We read lots of books."

St. John's surprise

To refuse to pay a whore after she has provided you with her services. This is a common practice at St. John's University.
I owed the bitch my last $5 but I decided I'd rather spend it on a couple of Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers so I jumped out the window and gave her the old St. John's surprise.
