<p>I am doing "research" on students' nicknames for college courses. Not the generic ones like Rocks for Jocks or Clapping for Credit, but those that are specific to a particular course at an identified college. A recent Harvard Crimson, for instance, mentioned a course nicknamed Avant Guerard, combining the subject matter with the name of the instructor. Students at other schools coined such names "Slums and Bums" (Urban Sociology) and "Stars for Studs" (a notoriously easy astronomy course popular with athletes). Looking forward to hearing the most innovative (and irreverent) nicknames from your institution!</p>
