WWW BOBO: Urban Dictionary, Yo!

Your favorite Admiral uses Urban Dictionary all the time. The UrbDict infuses the good Admiral's normally dry 19th century vocabulary with hip, contemporary lingo - like, phone stamina (good one to use when chatting with Joshua Chamberlain) or Cadillac Mack (which he uses often to pick up ladies while cruising Maine in his pimped dogsled).

But did all you hipsters know that dear, sweet Camp Bobo has its very own urban definition? For reals, yo, it does:
Mr. Joe Bornstein Esq. did a "swa-heet" job urbanizing our beloved Whispering Pines. But the Bowdoin Watch (BW) staff (the Admiral included) disagrees on several counts:

- Brunswick is considered a suburb of Portland? Is Portland even large enough to have suburbs?

- The Admiral refuses to wear fleece; he wears only boiled wool imported from Scotland. Dictionary definitions are no place for generalizations.

- While discussing generalizations: Not everyone at Bowdoin drinks (or drunk) themselves to "oblivion". Let's not forget that all the cool kids lived in Hyde and Howard!

- There are not many unhappy people at Bowdoin? Really? Did the info desk start passing out free antidepressants?

- On the subject of arrogance: Mr. Bornstein Esq. seems a "bit arrogant" himself. It's the 21st century; titles are so passe.

- What's wrong with being an underachiever? Great blogs are never created by achievers!

- While BW appreciates the detail of Mr. Bornstein's definition, it is a tad lengthy and could be truncated, just like the his Esq. title.

But it is still nice to know Bowdoin is dope on the Internet.
