Icy juicy (noun)
Pronunciation: aysi jusi
Definition: frozen juice, similar to a Popsicle, which is served in a triangular shaped carton and is eaten by pushing out the frozen "Popsicle" part by squeezing the bottom of the carton.
Attested: I first heard the term used by a fellow student at a dining hall in reference to this particular frozen confection.
Example: "I want an icy juicy for dessert."
Etymology: I do not know whether or not the usage of this term I strictly regional. I had not previously been aware of any general name for this particular food item. Obviously the name is fitting because it captures perfectly the icy and juicy nature of the dessert. Because this item can be found at many of the dining halls on campus, it is useful to know its generic name.

Definition: to rain in a teasing fashion, with very light drizzle and dark skies.İ Ithacation may company heavy clouds and light winds or deathly humid heat.
Attested:İ While filling out my college applications in the fall of 1998, I was warned that Cornell University had very random weather throughout the year, ithacation being the primary factor.
Example: "You know Jill," the Cornell student mentioned, "you had better take your anorak because it's been ithacating all day long."
Etymology: Though this word is nonsensical outside of the local Ithaca area, it is common to hear it amongst the people who reside here. It is often difficult to describe the weather conditions precisely and thus a word was developed that encompassed the total Ithaca precipitation experience.İ Some people, for example those who are from the West Coast, are not familiar with this randomness in climate and therefore are sometimes cynical about ithacation and its causes.

Ithacates (verb)
Ith-a-ca'-ts
Definition: to rain and sleet simultaneously
Attested-: I first encountered this word while talking to my friend about the winters in Cornell. He said it gets very cold and snows a good amount but that was not the first part about the weather.

Example: It is tough to walk up the slope, but when it ithacates it makes it extra difficult because of the rain and sleet mixture on the paths.
Etymology: The word originated in Ithaca because of Ithaca's bizarre weather patterns. Ithaca rarely sees sunshine and is usually raining or snowing. However there existing this type of weather that fits in neither categories. It is a simultaneous rain and sleet. This whether is unique to Ithaca because it is very common to this area. It causes havoc to the students as they have to go up the steep slope with this slippery mixture covering the paths and falling on their heads. Since this type of weather is so common to the Ithaca area they decided to name the weather after the town. Therefore simultaneous rain and sleet is called ithacating.
