uburbanite

Pronounced U-burbanite, from suburbanite.

Students of a large university, or residents of the surrounding area, whose lives (whether or not they like it) are impacted by the U on a daily basis.

Inspired by the University of Minnesota's annoying habit of using the capital letter "U" whenever possible, up to the point of subsituting it for the word "you" whenever possible. This author is sure that other universities have a similar tendancies, but she has not experienced them.

The Uburbanites are up in arms about the new stadium proposal.

The Uburbanites mobbed the University's office, demanding the return of the word "you."

Your Mom Goes To Collage

An insult regarding the artistic ability of a person's female parent, especially in regards to the cutting-up and re-gluing of pictures from magazines.

Found especially among students of Graphic or Interior Design, as no one else cares (or knows) about the artistic abilities of their mother.

This insult is perhaps a parody of misspelling/mispronunciation of Kip Dynamite's crushing yet witty line your mom goes to college.

Graphic Design Student: You wouldn't know an "Interior" if it were labled--in chartreuse!
Interior Design Student: Oh, yeah? You call *that* "graphic design"? I made better collages than that when I was three!
Graphic Design Student: Your mom goes to collage.
Interior Design Student: *runs away crying*
