Uptown Campus Life

Post by green4life »

Interesting read: "■BATTERY, on November 13, 2009, at 3:37 A.M., two students engaged in a fistic encounter in the Rathskellar of the Lavin Bernick Center. Both students were issued municipal summons' for battery."

Word of the day...fistic.

That is a good one. I need to find a way to work that into conversation.

Might this word be related to the term "fisticuffs," a term found in English literature, including Dickens?

Makes sense that an altercation at an academic institution would have a more intellectual description..

What does the Rat look like these days? I liked the one that was there when I arrived in 1993 (dirty, dank basement). Just fit the theme better.

The renovated one with the glass doors and the natural light? That sucked.
