“Avoid the area. Police are responding.”
What it means to normal people: There’s probably been an emergency, right?
What it means to Temple students: TU ALERT. There’s been an armed robbery, a shooting, a stabbing, or a nuclear bomb detonation somewhere near (or on) Temple’s Main or Health Sciences campuses. May or may not be Temple related. Use caution!
“Morgan Privilege”
What it means to normal people: Something about someone named Morgan? That would make the most sense?
What it means to Temple students: You’re a rich Fox kid and daddy pays for your tuition andhousing. Screw you, your three-year-old dorm, and your wind tunnel.
What it means to Morgan residents: As someone who lives in Morgan Hall South, I can speak for the luxury of having two bathrooms for a four-person suite. Oh, and a kitchen with a full fridge and cooktop. And a fully-finished living room area with a flat-screen TV. Wait, where was I going with this? (Further into debt, that’s where I’m going. But it’s worth every penny, right?)
$8.35
What it means to normal people: Eight dollars and thirty-five cents.
What it means to Temple students: $8.35 is the lunch and dinner meal equivalency at the dining halls. Which means if your meal is $9, you have two choices: return something, or use more money than you intended (see: “Meal or Diamond?”).
“That’ll be $5.”
What it means to normal people: You’re at Subway and ordered a $5 footlong?
What it means to Temple students: Temple Partyowl gave you the address, and you’ve spent the last fifteen minutes wandering around North Philly trying to find the party. (Safe!) Finally, you arrive at the stoop of a seemingly sketchy apartment. Two guys are standing outside. You start to walk in, until they stop you. That’s when you remember: frat parties at Temple are $5 for guys. Goddamnit.
Hooter
What it means to normal people: A restaurant or slang for a certain body part, depending on who you ask.
What it means to Temple students: Hooter is Temple’s costumed mascot. Gigantic, fierce, and friendly, Hooter is present at all home football and basketball games, and can sometimes be found on a scooter around campus.
#TempleMade
What it means to normal people: A seemingly clever promotional slogan for Temple.
What it means to Temple students: Self Made, Philly Made, Temple Made. Every Temple student has heard it, and the university seems to really like to push it. And they have all the reason to: for the good and the bad, being Temple Made represents grit, passion, and most of all, Temple Pride. ?
