The Dicktionary: College Guys Defined
>>> The Rollercoaster of Drama
By staff writer Simonne Cullen
May 1, 2005
There's been popular demand for a follow-up to The Chicktionary, so here it is, the list of every guy you'll find on campus.
The Kevin Federline
This gem somehow managed to land one of few elite pretty sorority girls on campus, and with time (and what can only be considered a substantial amount of stupidity on the girl's part) has converted her into a chubby, shoeless ATM machine with greasy hair. And while no one knows quite what his appeal is (besides his dance floor groove that makes Johnny Castle's moves look like the Elaine dance) she continues to stay with him, ignoring the ample, documented, photo timeline of her downward spiral. You can hear her friends say, "This photo was taken back in February—note the ringworm and cellulite in the upper thigh region." There are a lot of wannabes out there so the rule of thumb is, you can always tell if he's a Kevin Federline when you ask what he's doing on Saturday Night and he replies with, "Making babies."
The Meathead
When God was passing out brains he was in line for steroids with the rest of the of the Major League Baseball players. His likes include: picking fights, getting hickies from his girlfriend, and flexing. Dislikes include: reading, writing, and speaking words with more than one syllable.
The Bullshitter
Has the ability to make you think he knows what you know, when he really doesn't know what you know, but now does because he made you think he knew, and now knows you passed out giving head to his buddy's roommate. Well done. Best to just play dumb around him or go with the less commonly used by college students, but big with the celebrities, "No comment."
The Pretty Boy
"Generally the Close Your Mouth When You Chew guy is nice... all I'm saying is, beware the guy who eats five fries and two chicken nuggets at the same time.
Your typical frat boy who spends more time in the bathroom than his girlfriend does. Is normally seen wearing nothing less than Abercrombie's new spring line, but if you're at a state school in the South, it's Brooks Brothers all the way. He busies himself with the latest technological gadgets like a two-way and will never be caught in a three-way because he's got to think about his future career in politics. This stallion is a thoroughbred and is pretty much untamable as well as unattainable for most girls. But that's okay because most girls find themselves daydreaming about tainting his taint in class and then flying on his family's jet to Italy for the weekend.
The Playboy
Here's a fun drinking game to play: set up a video camera outside his room and take a shot for every different girl who goes in there. Guaranteed you'll be drunk in twenty minutes. And that's only if it's a Monday afternoon—if it's a Saturday don't bother, you'll die of alcohol poisoning in two and a half minutes. He's good-looking and like the pretty boy is untamable—but also unlike the pretty boy he's able to get that threesome over and over again, because he's going to be an actor. Unless he dies of a massive case of syphilis first.
Gas Pass
The guy who always let's gas out in the elevator and then pretends like it's you by being really original and saying, "Do you smell that? Ugh! What is that smell? It's not me that's for sure." Yeah buddy it hasn't been you for the past three days a week for the entire semester. I can't tell you how much I look forward to this ride every Monday Wednesday Friday on my way to class. Maybe I'll come over to your place later and leave a present for you in your toilet to show my appreciation.
The Celebrity Jock
If you go to U of I, all of your players are celebrities. But you can't be a Celebrity Jock unless you go to a Division 1 school. If you're in D3 and really good, well then you're popular but you're not going to have access to the school's jet now are you?
Mr. Dance*
The drunk at the bar who makes his own dance floor (normally the center of the bar) and tries to hump aggressively every woman who walks past him. Can groove to anything from country to techno, but has a soft spot for Disco—especially Earth Wind & Fire. His girlfriend could be puking in the bathroom and he'd still be there center stage/bar pulling out moves normally reserved for Walt Disney World parade employee's. (The waving and big dumb grins are a dead giveaway.)
*Not to be confused with the Kevin Federline
Team Hilarious
A wild group of men whose drunk antics are so ridiculously funny that the stories never get old no matter how many times you hear them. "So then I woke up passed out in a garage that wasn't mine, but I was still wasted and it looked a lot like my garage only cleaner and not so many bloodstains, so I thought I was home and went into the house where a family of five were having breakfast, and the dad pulled out his shotgun because he thought I was his 13-year-old daughter's secret boyfriend, but when I told him I was just lost, the mom felt bad and made me a plate of food. The dad kept the rifle next to him the whole time. Good eggs though."
Ricky Ricardo
The exchange student who doesn't speak very good English. He loves Lucy reruns and his voice is slightly higher than his American friends. Always holds open the doors for the ladies because that's how he was raised. Gets really red when he drinks. And whenever he says "Focus" it sounds like "Fuck Us."
The French Man*
Has more culture and depth than everyone in your dorm combined. Addicted to nicotine, he's most often found outside of the dorm smoking an entire pack of cigarettes and interpreting how bad the American government is...or poetry. He's dropped the beret and skinny mustache bit, but keeps the accent to woo American girls into getting them to drop their culture to insert his. Viva la France!
*French Canadians do not count.
The Van Wilder
The guy who's nowhere near as sexy or cool as the original, and yet still hasn't graduated. He's involved in everything on campus and you just want to hit him and say, "If you're going to stay here for a decade then you might as well have a six-pack—and I'm not talking about beer. And dress better or get the hell off campus! Don't you know it's sad when you're so old professors mistake you for a TA? Here's a Tara Reid biscuit, go fetch!"
Close Your Mouth When You Chew Guy
The guy who never learned how to eat his food one bite at a time. The normal person puts one piece of meat on their fork—this guy puts one piece of meat, mashes potatoes, corn, and before he swallows the chunk of bread in his mouth he inserts a forkful of high quality school food product, making it impossible for him to close and ultimately allowing you to witness his digestive system's opening act. It's gross but you can't pull your eyes away from the carnage that he's just chomp chomp chomping away at. Generally he's a nice guy...all I'm saying is, beware the guy who eats five fries and two chicken nuggets at the same time.
The Farm Boy
Is probably really tired of the joke that his first sexual experience was with his pet goat. So what if he's a little behind on the current times? He's got a solid family life. Loves his brothers and sisters...all nineteen of them. Just wants to grow up and have a family, so he goes to college and ends up living with a city boy who takes him to his first strip club and insists on covering his eyes the entire time until his buddies buy him a lap dance and the next thing you know the strippers have him down to his boxers and are riding him around on the stage like a horse. At the end of it he feels slightly used, but then realizes that's how old goaty must have felt that warm spring day five years ago.
The Skater Boy
Continues to wear his collared shirt over his hooded sweatshirts. Still living in 1995 he smokes too much weed and hangs out with the high schoolers who invade your school's property with their customized devil board on wheels. You're not sure why he's here but you're pretty sure he hasn't gone to class or showered for three weeks straight.
On a side note, I was watching the Back to the Future trilogy the other day and realized that this is 2005—why don't we have Hover Boards yet?
Okay I'm done. Did I miss anyone?

I loved the pronunciation of 'focus' for the Ricky Ricardo. It's one of those things that you only subliminally realize and once somebody points it out, it's freakin' hysterical.
you forgot us geeks. the anthony michael halls of our campus
Back to the Future 2 takes place in 2015, thirty years after 1985, so we don't have hoverboards to look forward to until then. And you forgot obnoxious movie geeks who memorize everything they watch and correct your every misquote.
Exchange Student *ie: "I am a sex machine!" or "Do you want to touch my penis!"
Actually some company (http://www.futurehorizons.net/hoverboard.htm)
made some hoverboards..
..not quite 2015, but I wish I had 9grand to blow on one of those...
although the meathead thing may be sort of true, I resent the MLB comment. my boyfriend is a MLB player & is not at all stupid, uneducated, or illiterate. he's actually sensitive & intelligent (no sarcasm intended).....so there
and don't forget the once-sexually-deprived now Active-as-hell band kids....
Missing:
Soldier Boy: The Resident ROTC prick who thinks that because we wears a uniform twice a week he's god's gift to women and everyone wants to line up and worship at the altar of his penis.
The Class Dad: The strikingly middle aged wise-cracker from the middle of the class. Always manages to keep a leg up on the professor no matter how much they argue and consistantly blows the curve to hell.
The Asshat Activist: Also the Devil's Advocate, argues with every point the professor makes never letting him/her make their point resulting in frustration for everyone else in the room. The Asshat Activist will be involved with every political group on campus -- even those he doesn't support.
The Workaholic: The only time you see him is in class, because he's working three jobs to keep himself here. He always comes to class dressed like he just finished waiting tables and is easily distinguished by the large circles under his eyes.
Yep, you forgot the geeks. (We're an Engineering school, we have plenty).
And what's terribly annoying about the Meatheads (or maybe only ours) is that all that sports mumbo jumbo they feed you in Middle School (Keep physically fit and the rest will follow, because you're in a good mental and physical state!) seems to be true. Overheard one of them in the gym talking about his internship paying 60k.
:(
You forgot as I like to call them
The Gamer
This man is an average student, but when it comes to video games. has many gaming buddies and can sometimes be seen in the commons playing halo with his friends. Usaully likes heavier music and fairly anti-social unless you start arguing what first person shooter is the best or when the new final fantasy release date is. No girlfriends, gaming is all he needs.
How can you forget the straight acting gay guy. This is the guy who is just like one of the guys but <b>completely unattainable</b>. He always comes up with a reason not to sleep with the girl who obviously wants to ride his bones (Still in the closet) or totally shoots her down, comming out to her, and going shopping with her the next day.
You forgot the extremely good looking soccer captain guy. I heard that they are really cool.
Didn't Justin write a column about this already called "Dont be that guy?"
this may be out of style, but the nation of pink shirts. Whether its frat guy, collar up, or "eccentric" intellect who thinks its kinda cool while at the same time making light of his hidden frustrations.
Simonne is hilarious. Good shit.
I guess noone has neo-hippies at their school? There not really hippies but they smoke enough pot, and smell bad enough to be. They are also usually to stoned or lazy to show up to class or join an organization. Hmmmm....
Geez, you oughta write for sitcoms or something. It is in this arena that your obvious, simpleton, stereotype-driven lame-ass attempts at humor will be given free reign. Hey Screech, where's the flood?
I think if your writing was any more stereotypical and laughable, your columns would be in The Onion. I can't believe these are your real thoughts. You should publish to a comedy website, you'd probably get more readers. And you just might graduate a millionare.
Hang in there. Keep the dream alive. I'm sure you'll make it.
i think back to the future wasnt until the year 2015 doc said that he was going 30 years into the future and at that time was 1985 hover boards might be here after all
just thought id inquire
well heres the deal, some parts were pretty god damn funny sadly you have left out the "normal" guy, the dude that lives a fun normal college life working going to school partying his ass off and loving every minute of it like "drawls" from the flick "pcu"
I don't know how to put this, but the sort of guy that you refer to as a 'stallion' is a complete fake. I wish I had more space to explain to you how many guys I have met like this that are complete dickheads behind girl's backs. He only appears disinterested, which gives him an aire of confidence. It would seem that he can function without you, and he does this because he knows that it will get him laid. He wears his clothing as a status symbol to let you know that he has money, and you have been taught by the society which you were brought up in that money and status symbols such as the overpriced crap at Abercrombie are equal to success. Keep in mind that mommy and daddums are probably paying for every bit of his life, and that he may not have a lick of talent/intelligence to earn it himself. Yeah I am stereotyping a bit, but there are so many guys like this out there that it is hard to ignore them.
hey you forgot guys like me. the intelectual, jock, stoner who actually attends class on a regular basis, but stoned, who also finds the time between bong rips to play some hockey or football. the intelectual jock stoner is very closely related to the "normal guy who you also forgot to mention only the intelectual jock stoner guy is usualy to preoccupied with getting stoned throughout the day to try and find a chick to stick it in. it usualy turns out that guys like me get chicks from getting stoned with them at a party
How about that girl that sits in the front row and won't shut up. The one that thinks philosophy class is for her personal use as a sounding board for her interpretations of the great thinkers of all time. Since it would be ridiculous to assume they actually said what they meant, and it would require two class periods of her commentary to unlock the secrets of their minds, even though there are written inventories of every idea they felt was worth recording. I am sure that girl is also the one who categorizes everyone into their niche groups because we, as a society, can never just simply accept other people as what they are- you know, people.
Were you talking bout urself Nate?
That Matt guy is an idiot.
Pete is a funny dude.
Anyway, Great article!
Randomness rules!
shut the fuck up assholes . no one wants to hear what you say . fucking americans .. 8-:52)%(@2!
The Gamer: A odd breed that never grew out of their favorite Mario Brothers pasttime. Usually asian in ethnicity or really pale caucasians, they spend their time in their extremely dirty dorm rooms playing computer games and answering phonecalls from their mother. They dwell in a World of War or WarCraft. Your mostly likely not to run into one of these severe addicts, but if you do try to be friendly and understand when they rush home at 730 to "own some newbs".
you forgot the guy in class who doesnt seem to own any colthes besides soccer jerseys and sweat pants. when he does wear real clothes, you are so shocked that it takes you a while to figure out who he is. also the guy thats really cute that the popular girls always flirt with that i (being an almost-popular girl) have a huge crush on. but hes always soo out of reach by anyone whos not popular. he doesnt have a girlfriend and is relatively quiet but always gets good grades.
