College Slang Essential
For Frosh Education
To change a naive frosh to a
"smooth" upperclassman, a know
ledge of college slang is essential.
"Apple polishing" . connotes
shining a ruddy fruit until it
glows, but the college version is
shining up to a professor for bet
ter marks.
A "sandwich hcur" is no time
for a snack, but a free hour be
tween two classes. "Bluebooks"
are not the College social register
—it's what you write an exam in.
