Thread: Party Animals Question

ХАЛЯВА LMAO!!!!!!!!! ХАЛЯВА ХАЛЯВА ХАЛЯВА !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Rtyom for my word of the day!!! I'll say "Спасибо вы ХАЛЯВА!" to the hot chick at the store today (she doesn't understand a word of Russian).

College Party movies are not all that real, Animal House was, and is the best. Fraternity houses are usually dives, so no one really cares how badly they get trashed. Partying on college campuses goes back to Grecco-Roman times. They instill real-world skills and character in students. If you can pass a test with a hangover after partying all weekend, there is nothing a boss can do to you that will stress you out. Holding back your girlfriends hair while she pukes teaches chivalry. Dragging a drunk friend home teaches you loyalty. Burying your passed out room mate under 1,000 well placed beer cans teaches you to have creative fun and it's a dog-eat dog world. Waking up under 1,000 well placed beer cans teaches you humility and it's a dog-eat-dog world, so take no prisioners. Prefabricating a pully system to haul 4 kegs of beer to the 8th floor dorms, well I got an "A" on my 2 year Engineering project.

There is a yearly 'Top 10 list' of party schools, I'll find a link later on, so check back. I went to University of Massachusetts, Amherst, affectionately known as Zoo-Mass. It was in the top 10 for years before and after I was there. The 'Drinking Minutemen'.

*sigh* I don't get it...

Халява = freebie / freeloading / another synonym having the sense of getting something you really want for free and without any effort from your part.

Typically Russian equivalent of American Dream.

Thank you. I feel slightly less stupid now.

Well, I actually work at one of the largest colleges in the state so I figured if all that was going on I'd see some of it, but then it occured to me its also THE most conservative college in the state. I have heard some stories about the fraternities around here though, like one of them built an indoor mud wrestling pit in the living room!

I go to University of Illinois, and as far as I know we're not high up on the party schools list, but you certainly wouldn't know it from seeing the throngs of drunk people last night at 4am. There were almost certainly more than there are on any class day.

Which reminds me of what the paper rehashed in regards to the Duke scandal: last year or so, they busted a place with a pool full of baby oil -- used for the bikini-clad female "wrestlers."

I used 4 on-line translators to look up "ХАЛЯВА".... All 4 came back with "muff"... I use the word differently than the 3 definitions in my Webster's...

Hehe. It would be really funny if someone made a list like this, except they intentionally listed a bunch of military or religious schools just to mess with people. So little Johnny goes to "St. E'claires" to party down, only to realize that he's now in Sister Helen's world!

Boozy-woozy show!
