HuffPost College Asks: What Words Will You Never Use Again After College?

After college, there are some words you will never have to use again.

In some cases, it's refreshing to not have to say you are going to the library to pull an all-nighter. However, it's also a little bit of a buzzkill to realize you can't get excited about "Thirsty Thursday" or getting to sleep in on Fridays.

So HuffPost College asked on Twitter, what words can you forget after graduation? These are your responses, including a few from fellow HuffPost editors and writers:

Are you saying they'll never use those words again? Because I was using those two words as a curse for ten full years after I graduated from college.

I try not to use them every month that I pay the interest, LOL

Yeah, diversity is so stupid!

"Hegemony" was the one that popped in my mind just from seeing the headline. Other posters feel the same.

[TheBlaqueProfessor]

11:24 PM on 04/26/2012

"Hegemony" never existed, especially in this country, and thank GodAllah for that . . .

[saj1000]

Hegemony never existed in the United States? You can't possibly be serious.

- hegemonic masculinity

Rightists will be pleased to see so many budding anti-intellectuals coming into the big folk world.

I'll probably never use antidisestablishmentarinism again. Of course, I've been out of college for 35 years and that's the first time I've ever used it.

My senile grandparents get a kick out of trying to spell it when I'm around. I hear it more than you would think!

Screw you - don't tell me which words I can or cannot use.

[bendaltex]

Wow! I think it is pretty far out that HufPo would put such a groovy article on their website. It was neat to read it and it wasn't weird at all. After reading it, me and my bunny thought it was so right on that we peeled off the bell bottoms and balled all night.

It's been a while since college. Peace!

Did you blow grass or drop some acid?

College was good to you.

"I'm too poor"

Really? lucky you

considering the current debate about what will happen to the interest rates on student loans, I don't think that's a phrase most graduates will be able to retire.

[Cantinflas]

02:19 PM on 04/26/2012

They themselves may never be able to retire.

The 1% are doing just fine, however. Thank you.

[cenourinha]

sadly very true. Heck, I'm 43, didn't have any school loan debt and *I'll* probably never retire.

[saj1000]

12:25 PM on 04/27/2012

It's an extra $1000 a year. I don't think $4,000 over a period of the ten years you get to repay your student loans is going to prevent anyone from retiring. Stop being such a drama queen.

[cenourinha]

06:24 PM on 04/27/2012

the increase isn't what's crippling; the fact that the average graduate enters the workforce with $30,000 in debt is what's crippling. so stop being such a polyanna.

[gclafontaine]

These responses just reflect American anti-intellectualism.

[Rush Libraughl 83]

Exactly...

The fact that "paradigm shift" goes out the window when you graduate is really sad.

[TheBlaqueProfessor]

If "paradigm shift" is no longer used after college, it's a clear demonstration of a paradigm shift . . .
