Colleges with best/worst names

<p>Agnes Scott College. Worse than that was what Emory and GA Tech students called it -- "Anxious word-for-female-anatomy-that-rhymes-with-Scott". Of course, Scotties called Emory guys 'Emerroids, so I guess it balances out.</p>

<p>


Well, I'm stumped... seriously. I can think of a four-letter word that starts with C, but doesn't really rhyme with "Scott", so fill me in. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Um, like "wat". Only more t-laden.</p>

<p>The word does NOT rhyme with what you do on 4th and 8 from your own 30-yard line. Nor is it the same as the mascot of the Oregon State teams or MIT's teams...(same animal that completes this 1950-1960's TV show: "Leave it to ______"). Nor is it a synonym for a feline.</p>

<p>But it does rhyme with the way you measure the power going into your light bulbs, and what you do to kill a housefly. There was a movie 20 years ago in which Kathleen Turner played a prostitute who was performing as the customer's fantasy girl--a flight attendant. She said to him, "Do you want some Pan-Am coffee, or some TWA tea?"</p>

<p><em>giggle</em> Thank you so much for that laugh. Very well done. </p>

<p>I was trying to be <em>tactful</em> in explaining, because it's a family board, or something. I was personally appalled the first time someone told me about the name. <em>grin</em></p>

<p>Thanks, TrinSF. I'm glad you liked my deconstruction of the rhyme scheme. B.A. in English, Boston College. And they thought I wasn't paying attention... I kept telling my parents that majoring in English would pay off some day!</p>

<p>Yeah, when I have moments like that, I say, "...benefits of a liberal arts education...." Heh.</p>
