knickerbocker

A total cheapskate, especially when it comes to making sure to use every possible coupon and special offer--from our Dutch heritage and longtime association with Scots (Presbyterian) churches.

Washington Irving used our name in his satirical writings and played on the stereotype of cheapness, but ironically it wound up being turned right around into a sort of icon of upper-crust New York society! Don't be fooled by Ward McAllister's Four Hundred; a true Knickerbocker would never waste the bucks on the attire required to enter Mrs. Astor's ballroom.

Look, you can afford the cover charge, don't be such a knickerbocker about it.

NoI

Night of Innocence, alternative Halloween/Homecoming party held at Sid Rich during NoD: pajamas and slippers, milk and cookies, and Disney movies.

Fuck Wiess College, fuck NoD, I'm going over to Sid Rich for NoI and watch Bambi!

Tallyboo

Wiess College's annual award given on College Night for the biggest sleazeball of the year, named for the Master's teenage daughter that some guy was caught in bed with decades ago.

Who was it that won the Tallyboo after he got ejected for hurling a fridge from the third floor that one time?

Sparky the Hooter

Highly unofficial and vulgar mascot of Wiess College, a huge cardboard penis constructed for NoD and paraded at the Homecoming game.
