Llenroc (adjective)
LÈn-rock
Definition: a category of shale (type of rock) that is used on the outside of many buildings at Cornell. Unlike Devonian shale, Llenroc is cut sideways from the shale, usually about an inch thick, and is used more for decoration on buildings as opposed to the composing actual structure.
Attested: I first encountered this term today at my Geology 101 lab when we were given a tour of the Cornell campus and the many types of rocks present here, one of which being Llenroc.
Example: If a person looks closely at the stones on the outside of Gannett Health Center and those on the outside of the Law School they will notice a difference. Those on the Health Center are Devonian shale whereas those on the Law School are Llenroc.
Etymology: Although Llenroc is not a term unique to Cornell, the keen observer will notice that Llenroc is Cornell spelled backwards. This is because Cornell is the principle buyer of Llenroc across the country so they named this classification of shale after the school. Why they decided to spell it backwards, I do not know, but this is indeed still a tribute to our school.

Llenroc (noun).
Len-rok (see hard copy for phonetics)
Definition: Devonian shale plastered onto a concrete foundation ‚ what most of the buildings around campus are made out of
Attested: I first encountered this term about a month ago, when my friend who¼s taking a geology course pointed out some of the buildings on campus that are made out of llenroc
Example: "Gannett is made out of llenroc, but the law building is pure Devonian shale."
Etymology: In my experience, llenroc is a term used only at Cornell. After all, the word was derived from "Cornell" spelled backwards. Architects use it here because it is cheaper than actually stacking the Devonian shale. Since it is so cost efficient, the substance may be used at other places as well. However, only at Cornell is it referred to as "llenroc."

Locked Out (verb)
Definition: to no be able to get in a class
Attested: I first heard the pharse in my Engineering Seminar. My peer advisor told us that he was locked out of a African studies class he wished to take.
Example: To prevent from being locked out of a class, one should pre-enroll as soon as possible.
Etymology: This phrase probably exists all over the country in different college campuses; however, it may be worded differently. But, the idea of not being able to get in class due to influx of pre- enrollment exists everywhere pre-enrollment exists. It is more likely for a freshman to be lock out of a humanties or arts class than an upper classman because freshman are the last to pre- enroll. It is unlikely that anyone would be locked out of a lecture in a math or science because the lecture halls are quite large.

Louie's (noun)
Loo-eez
Definition: the lunch truck permanently parked on north campus, near Balch Hall.
Attested: I heard this term the first night I went out at Cornell. On the way home late at night, my friends suggested we stop at Louie's to get something to eat.
Example: "I'm really hungry, but RPU is closed already. Thank God for Louie's!"
Etymology: To my knowledge, Louie's is unique to Cornell University. An equivalent to Louie's is the Hot Truck, which is located on West Campus. Louie's serves many purposes, and is becoming increasingly popular especially amongst studying students late at night who need a break. Waiting lines at night can run up to an hour long, but most will say that the savory sandwiches are well worth the wait. After all, Louie's is part of the Cornell tradition, and is becoming quite a legend.
