Yay for tonic and bubbler!
And I didn't know that other people didn't use these terms until I went to college!
Along with "wicked pissah", "packie", and "carriage" (which is what you push around in the grocery store)
And yes, to say that someone is ignorant because of this is a little much. Quite frankly, I've never even heard of "Southern Ivies", and the Ivy League schools I know are the ones that are most commonly referred to as such.
Would I automatically assume that someone was wrong because they called these schools Southern Ivies? Probably not. But would I say that everyone from one particular region of the country is pretentious because of a comment that one person made? Definitely not.
