Shows how things change (kinda like the n-word I guess). As I am sure you know, each AUC school has it's sterotypes. MBC student of my day felt that "MoBrown" fed into their particular sterotype, so they hated it and generally steered clear of it. If they shorten the name it was typically just "Brown". Of course (again, like the n-word) I don't know if they referred to the school that way in private.
