The Iguana Cafe (People's Republic of Iguanaland) was a teeny-tiny San Fernando Valley hole-in-the-wall fuckin' MIRACLE of a cranium-shop, sammich/muffin/bookstore/haven/nest for poets and preachers, anarchists and music-makers, shy beautiful outcasts and outlandish acts of right-on wordsmithery. Much-loved, deeply-mourned (closed down in the 90's)---The Iguana gave birth to some famously infamous famous folk. But the no-names were the real reason everyone dug it. The bathroom doubled as a loverly acid-trip Green Room. Proprietor Tom was the grooviest elf-god EVER. It was a Zen koan in a state of constant rebirth.
"Get your shit together and let's go to the Iguana...I have some new goodies I wanna read at open-mike tonight!"
"Where the hell have you been, Rainbow? That place is, like, totally SHUT DOWN. It's gone."
"OMG. Are you serious? Oh WOW...you don't even know how bummed I am right now. That confirms it---there IS no God. Where the fuck is my pipe?"

Not-so-secret "secret" at Haverford College in Pennsylvania. Refers to the series of tunnels(containing an elaborate heating/electrical system) originally constructed beneath the Haverford campus with the intention of keeping the place cozy and liveable in Winter...has since been infiltrated by generations of Haverford undergrads hell-bent on getting drunk/high, wandering through the maze of subterranean pipes and passageways, risking getting caught and hollered at by the Dean or control-freak upperclassmen..."tunneling" was totally CHOICE in the 1980's when most of the tunnels were still accessible and good, creepy fun could be had down there (picnics, beer parties, nookie)...now that most of the tunnels have been walled-off, etc...it's much harder to convince a fellow-'Ford to crawl drunkenly through 'em with you when the possibility of NEVER FINDING YOUR WAY OUT ALIVE looms and menaces. There is still the seductive lure of the yet-to-be-breached "SECRET DOOR" said to be hidden within the tunnels.
"Screw Customs, man---let's hit the tunnels!"
"The TUNNELS? Are you kidding me? I heard Poindexter went in last semester and fucking disappeared. Screw that...besides, they're having cheesesteaks in the Dining Hall tonight and I wanna get in line before that big guy from my Chem class eats 'em all."

George Bush is our Karma for NOT PAYING ATTENTION!!!
"Hey, Archie---did you vote for George Bush in the last election?"
"Who, ME?!?!? Naw...I NEVER vote...I'm too busy watching 'Real World', downloading porn, wasting my trust-fund and whining about nothing to vote."
"Well, I guess the fact that George Bush has had TWO TERMS in office is your KARMA for being an apathetic little ass-monkey! And by the way: fuck you very much, Archie!"

Variation of "Gorp"("Good Old Raisins and Peanuts"/"Granola, Oats, Raisins and Peanuts), "Gormp" is "Good Old Raisins, M&M's and Peanuts"---also "Granola, Oats, Raisins, M&M's and Peanuts". Trail-mix for the advanced chocoholic backpacker. Quite delish, and greatly coveted on the trail. Goes perfectly with canteen water. Picking all the M&M's out of the community-Gormp is a seriously uncool no-no.
"Ah...check out that sunset over those hills yonder..."
"Screw the sunset, man! Who the fuck ate all the M&M's out of the Gormp?"

Nickname for a student at Bryn Mawr College. Bryn Mawr women often call eachother "Mawrters", with twinkling & ironic emphasis on the similarity to the word "martyr". Also muttered bitterly by scruffy, insecure, virginal Haverford men who fail to secure the affections of these goddesses of Bryn Mawr's cloistered "gothic castle" community. Haverford women tend to eye-roll and wander off in disgust when confronted with whiny Haverford men fresh from Mawrter-rejection. They are often so turned off by this display that they resort to dating Yale or Harvard (or---God forbid!---Swarthmore) men out of pure spite. Some adventurous Haverford women date Bryn Mawr women and avoid spoiled, self-obsessed Haverford men completely.
"Oh---glorious Spring! All Mawrters down to the Maypole at once!"
OR
"I am SO into this gorgeous Mawrter, but she told me she only dates Haverford WOMEN!"
