Three-Step Guide to Spring Break: 1. Boot 2. Rally 3. E-Mail Us About It
Gosh, these exams sure are hard! Feels like time for a break, no? We’ll be back to the usual next week, but for now it’s time to recharge batteries, do laundry, bathe, all that good stuff.
But first, a plea: What happens on spring break absolutely must not stay on spring break. We want stories, photos, video, anything. You can find us at the usual. If it means we turn into College Humor for a week, so be it.
Off with you now! May your back tan evenly, may your carefully-compiled reading list go neglected, may your funnel never run dry.

Double stars on the chest… *facepalm*

please don’t make me urban dictionary any more vocabulary.

it pangs me to say this because i absolutely know sasha’s are always amazingly hot (don’t ruin this for me) but c’mon boot?(i assume that’s the word you mean, otherwise it’s even worse) What did you think it meant? geez sasha, c’mon, live up to my idealized notion of your sexy name!

it pains me to see people write “it pangs me.”
March 16th, 2007 at 1:05 am
pangs isn’t really incorrect there. imagine someone saying “it torments me to say this…”. that makes sense. torments is a synonym for pangs.
i do think its acceptable to not know what boot means; it isn’t all that mainstream at all.

You are a moron

1. Boot is mainstream. Seriously, have you been under a rock or what?
2. I think she wanted to urban dictionary facepalm, not boot
March 17th, 2007 at 7:01 am
Actually, “pangs” is not a verb. Torments is.

wow, ivygate, with readers like this, you are sure to get some SWEET spring break stories.
March 17th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
^^seriously. this is terrifying.

she probably wanted to urban dictionary facepalm, but i had never heard “boot” until coming to yale. it’s not used in the northwest.
March 17th, 2007 at 10:24 pm
no, really, pangs is a verb. bother to look it up in a dictionary first. you all had me doubting myself so i checked both merriam webster and the oed and it indeed is a verb in both and “it pangs me…” does make sense.

Non of these poeople look like they go to any Ivy League school. Do you think that they go to Cornell?
March 18th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
I wonder how an Ivy Leaguer looks. The people in the picture don’t look like they go to an Ivy.
“Do you think that they go to Cornell?”: Probably.

Nice logic. You’d never heard it in your hometown, but picked it up immediately at Yale. That would be because it’s been common slang at Northeast colleges for at least three generations.
Obviously, then, there’s no reason at all for Ivygate readers to suggest the word is a common one.
” i had never heard “boot” until coming to yale. it’s not used in the northwest.”

Yeah P01, the northeast is the all-encompassing pillar of language at its most respectable height. Also nowhere else exists. God forbid Sasha and I might not vomit often enough at college to have the word “boot” at the ready.

Also I don’t care. If I could retract that comment I would.

SHUT THE HELL UP PEOPLE, I WAS REFERRING TO “FACEPALM,” as some intelligent observers noticed.
