I love it when you call me names … but, honey, you just don't got good ones anymore.

The guardians of NU popular culture must be some lazy, lazy motherf*ckers. It's as if they met once in the '70s to discuss stereotypes and nicknames, worked for about 15 minutes, excused themselves to take a crap in the Norris basement … and never came back. Leaving us with a meager handful of stereotypes that still get tossed around, for lack of better options.

"Theater kid," "library kid," "techie," "frat boy," "Medilldo," "hippie" … all so tired, so overused, often so inapplicable. We have, we think, 14 better options, created by and updated for the modern-day Wildcat.

Sure, we know, no one wants to be classified. And stereotyping is a bad, bad activity. But in the context of NU pop culture, it's pretty damn fun. By no means is this list all-inclusive, or all-correct, but it's far more fact than fiction. So play along. Read up, and sound off on the message boards at the bottom of each page. Remember, these are based on you …
