The students are back in town, very obvious in their official school tee-shirts (and by the fact that the city’s population has jumped by nearly 20% in the last couple weeks — and the traffic has gotten worse all out of proportion to that).
While driving yesterday, I saw four groups of such students, and it occurred to me… a group of lions is a pride, and a group of geese is a gaggle. What should a group of university students be called? After discarding “clump” and “tangle,” I settled on one: they’re now officially called “an annoyance of students.” 🙂
GoddessJ and our friend Interrobang were very amused by this later, and offered their own suggestions: “billfold” and “c-note,” presumably referring to the large amounts of spending money the students in this town always seem to have.
In any case, a good time was had by all. 🙂
I thought it’d be like fish, a “school” of students. But that would make too much sense. 😉
Since when did university have anything to do with school or learning? As far as I can tell, it’s a non-stop party, only occasionally interrupted by going to a class to sleep. 😉
That depends on if you want to get decent grades or not, most students don’t, apparently. 😉
