Following are the Engineering College Sniglets I thought up... All based on my four-year tenure at college while I was enlightening myself on the intricacies of Chemical Engineering, and some more during software training.
ATTENDANTIME: The 'cut-off' time that a person entering class is eligible for attendance for the whole hour. Varies according to the lecturer in advisement.
BATDRAFTING: The practice of using a minidrafter as a make-believe cricket bat and playing a cover drive. Related term: Guitardrafting.
CHEMYSTERY: The unintelligible solution that you just created :
CHEMYTH: The ill-conceived notion that the rest of the college has that Chemical Engineering is all about Chemistry : :
CHIT: Memory-joggers designed for the benefit of exam-takers. Production of these are considered an illegal activity :D
CHITREADING: The fine art of reading exam chits (refer definition above). Highly esoteric, and can be understood only be the writer. Requires eyesight of high microscopic abilities.
COPYWRITER: Person availing of chits. Not related to advertising.
DESK-MS: The ability to type SMS with the phone below the table and not looking at the screen.
DESKITTI: The ubiquitous scribblings and works of arts of Michelangelos-to-bes that you find on every piece of furniture in college.
ELASTIC BAND: The ever-changing college music group :D
ELECTROMYSTERY: The phenomenon of absence of electricity in Electrical Engineering classrooms :O
ENTRAINING: The PC Thomas-like torture we all went through to get our asses out here in the first place :
EXSHAM: A test paper that gets leaked and sullies the name of the university.
GRAPH-I-TEA: The peculiar designs obtained when chaai is spilled on your lab record.
GYMNAUSEUM: The odour emanating from the sweatshirts of guys who work out.
INEBRYTHM: The drunken dance at every college fest, late at night. Generally performed by strange species from the Mens' Hostel.
KOO-RESISTOR: The person who, oblivious of the wild jeering from the crowd, continues singing/dancing/mimicing/whatevering straight-faced!
MALLPRACTICE: The art of skipping class for shopping.
MECHALOMANIA: The undying spirit that ties Mech students together.
MECHALCOHOLOMANIA: The *spirit* that ties Mech students together.
MECHTENDANCE: The rare event of finding a Mech student in class.
NINETYNINE-POINT SOMEONE: The guy who cracks GATE/CAT from every batch :D
NJAANOTECHNOLOGY: The science of studying about yourself (for Mallus only!)
NORMALIZATION: The *standardization* of lab experiment values. Standard values may be obtained from any senior's lab record. (Of course, this means that the first ever batch are the only people to have ever *done* the experiment.)
NOVELIZATION: The art of reading a novel in class.
RE_PARTEE: The person who shifts political orientation with respect to who is in power in college.
RICE AND SHINE: The horror of finding rice being served in for breakfast in hostels.
SIMBIOSIS: The person in college who effortlessly uses two SIMs with his phone...
SOFTSH*T: The bullcrap that you say during software interviews that you wouldn't dream of saying otherwise ("Software is booming! Of course I want to stay with ******* all my life! MBA?! What's that?")
SPONSORSH*T: The hell that all students have to go through, begging people all over the town, for their upcoming departmental fest.
THERMOCOUPLE: The *hottest* couple in college :D
ZZZZZZ: The sound you hear from the back bench during most lectures.
I'll keep updating this as and when I get inspiration. You're free to add on to this :D
