<p>what do ppl usually refer to johns hopkins university as?
hopkins? jhu?</p>
<p>I use both.
my friends from jhu usually refer to it as hopkins.</p>
<p>When speaking, I say "Hopkins," sometimes "Johns Hopkins." When typing, I occasionally use "JHU" simply because it's faster and easier to type.</p>
<p>lol.."jhu" is ten times easier to type than "hopkins"
I never say "Johns Hopkins" takes too long/ is too tongue-twisty with all the "s" sounds</p>
<p>In speech , it's almost always "Hopkins". In writing, I use either JHU (because, like run<em>n</em>hit said, its easier to type) or Hopkins</p>
<p>ppl usually know what i mean more often if i say "hopkins".</p>
<p>my brother goes there and he says joho</p>
<p>I've never heard that one before. Is that something that only actual JHU students say or is it just your brother's saying?</p>
<p>why not call it the big "H" ?</p>
<p>cuz then, harvard would be mad</p>
<p>The "Big H" is quite generic, so that probably wouldn't work. At school, sometimes I refer to hopkins as "Johns Hopkins" solely because of the fact that everybody thinks it's John Hopkins. I guess I do it to correct them.</p>
<p>I'm a baltimore local, and everybody around here calls it Hopkins when speaking, and jhu when writing or IMing or wadever</p>
<p>JHU and Hopkins are the most commonly heard.</p>
<p>If the "marketing department" had their way it would always be Johns Hopkins. The extra "S" is important. </p>
<p>One of the adcoms jokes that in Puerto Rico we are known as Juans Hopkins. Bad joke, I know.</p>
<p>Actually, there is another one about our President, President Brody, being introduced at a speech in Pittsburgh, and the speaker said, "Please welcome Dr. Brody, President of John Hopkins University."</p>
<p>So President Brody arrived at the podium and started by saying, "It is always lovely to come back to Pitt-burgh."</p>
<p>Ha Ha Ha -- urban legend probably, but there are a lot of the lame "S" jokes here at Hopkins and we love them.</p>
<p>my brother goes there and calls it joho i have no idea i guess a bunch of them call it that up there</p>
