What exactly is a SASB? We compiled a list of all the UNC-related lingo from campus

Orientation teaches you a lot of things. However, UNC and Chapel Hill are two rather large places that contain so many delicacies, both big and small. And, since we’re all college students, when we talk about these delicacies we try to be as efficient as possible. More often than not, you won’t have time to say, “Hey, meet me at Walter Royal Davis Library at 7 to ‘study.’” So instead, we all try to shorten as much as we possibly can. 

The Daily Tar Heel has put together a list of the most popular UNC lingo and references for you to memorize so you’re in the loop the day you walk into HoJo (Hinton James). 

Alert Carolina: The campus wide alert system that pops up on your phone, email, TV screens and basically every other piece of technology you own. Mostly useful, often late, may contain typos. You'll never miss a severe thunderstorm warning in your life. 

Alpine: Alpine Bagel Cafe on the first floor of the Student Union, not to be confused with Alpine Deli & Cafe in Kenan-Flagler (see B-School). The line is mildly intimidating right before 8 a.m., but the good morning camper is worth it every single time. 

Bar Golf: An annual tradition for seniors where drinks at different bars are assigned a point value and the goal is to drink all of said beverages. Underclassmen "caddy" for them — a.k.a. dress in matching outfits and carry them home. 

B-School: The Kenan Flagler Business School, may be a breeding ground for snakes? Is basically located at the top of the Dean Dome, but there is an elevator in the parking deck that will take you to the top. 

Bottom of Lenoir: Also known as "Bottom." The first floor area of Lenoir that has Chick-Fil-A, Med Deli, Healthy Bowl, etc. Also known as “Main Street at Lenoir," but nobody ever calls it that. 

Cat's Cradle: Carrboro's main music venue. For $20, you may accidentally run into Waka Flocka Flame here, or go to a concert that is either the best one of your life, or maybe the worst one.  

Davis: The Walter Royal Davis Library, situated across the Union, specifically, across from Alpine. It gets quieter as you go up, but just because the "P" books are toward the top doesn't mean that procreation has to happen here.

Dean Dome, The: The ceiling is the roof apparently, but nobody really knows what that means. This is where basketball magic occurs and Late Night with Roy happens. Good luck getting Phase 1 tickets though. 

Dey: Also known as Dey Hall. Pronounced “Dye.” You will likely have many classes here. If you want people to know you're new to campus, call it "Day" hall.  

Dook: A "university" about eight miles up the road. You may hear students yelling "Go to Hell Dook" during a song.This is the correct spelling. Don't you trust us?

DTH, The: The acronym for The Daily Tar Heel, your local student news organization. We serve all of UNC and the communities of Orange County. Make sure you pick up our paper on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and check out our website and email newsletter daily! 

E-haus: Also known as Ehringhaus Residence Hall, a first-year community on South Campus. One of three high-rise communities, but this is arguably the most lively. Has a great view of the baseball stadium if you're into that. 

FDOC: First Day of Class. This is the day when the line around the Old Well wraps down Cameron Avenue. Don't get too friendly with the person beside you in class; they might not be there the next day. 

Frat Court, Big: Located on North Columbia Street. Consists of five different fraternities. May be playing loud music, likely has black tarps that look like trash bags hanging up around the house. 

Frat Court, Little: Located off of West Camera Avenue. Contains three different fraternities. Imagine the Netflix remake of Full House, but on the University scale. Interpret that as you will. 

Gary: Also known as the Pit Preacher. Often found in the Pit or in the Quad. Sometimes is replaced by a younger form. May claim that you are sinning. 

GDTBATH: Great Day To Be A Tar Heel! If you don't wake up every day and say "Wow. It's a GDTBATH" then you're probably waking up wrong. Also a frequent Twitter hashtag. #GDTBATH

Hark the Sound: This is the name of the alma mater of UNC. Your OL will teach you the alma mater at orientation, but don't worry about remembering it. Most of us didn't know it until our second year of messing up the words that we were singing it wrong. 

Heel Yeah: Your RA might substitute a similar sounding phrase with this. Used to express great pleasure in something. 

Late Night: A late-night dining experience at Rams Dining Hall. Generally occurs on Sunday through Thursday nights, can almost always guarantee pancakes and eggs. Occurs at Lenoir Dining Hall a few times a semester. Not to be confused with Late Night with Roy.

LDOC: Last Day of Class. During the spring semester, your lecture in Genome might smell strongly of the P2P on a Thursday night. Don't fret, your professors probably won't cancel class. 

McCorkle Place: The grassy-area behind the Old Well, extending up to Franklin Street near Pettigrew and Vance halls. Former resting place of Silent Sam. 

ONYEN: The Only Name You'll Ever Need. Pick your ONYEN wisely, because you quite literally cannot change it. So, as much as "poppyflower981" appeals to you, just like it did at 12 years old, don't make it your ONYEN.

PCJ: Port City Java. Serving up hot coffee, daily. Located at the entrance of Rams Dining Hall, formerly the location of a Starbucks. Likely does not have available seating.

P2P, The: Also known as the Point-2-Point service/shuttle. This is the bus that runs after 7:00 P.M. until 4 in the morning from South Campus to Franklin Street and back around. Riding it on a Thursday evening may result in being pressed up against another person and holding on for dear life. Good luck bringing a drink without a lid on it. 

PID: Pronounced "P-EYE-D." The nine-digit number on the front of your OneCard. You'll likely have to recite it at least once a day, so memorize it. Go ahead and pre-fill out your scantrons because this part takes forever. 

Pit, The: Centered between the Student Stores, Greenlaw Hall, the Union and the UL. May contain people handing out flyers or free food, but most likely both. Gary or Pelican's SnoBalls may be hanging out here. Pick your fighter in this case. 

Public Safety: A common bus stop if you live on South Campus. The area at the base of Hardin residence hall, across from Craige Parking Deck. The P2P busses live here during the day. If you see UNC Police washing their cars, you're in the right place.

Quad, The: The grassy area outside of Wilson Library. You will often find UNC students sunbathing and sitting in this area. Stretches up to the back of South Building. Also known as Polk Place. Don't forget your bathing suit when you come out here. 

Rams (Dining Hall): Also known as Chase Dining Hall. Is arguably the better of the two dining halls, subject to opinion. The ice-cream machine is usually working here. Late night occurs here. 

Rams Head/ Rams Rec: The closest gym to South Campus. Has full-sized basketball courts and cardio equipment, but not much else. Conveniently located next to the dining hall.

Rameses: The UNC team mascot is the ram. This could be in reference to either the rather ... well endowed ... live ram that attends football games, or the student in the ram mascot suit that is usually better potty-trained than the former.

Rameses Jr.: Rameses' brother? His nephew? The love child of Rameses (mascot) and Rameses (ram)? Only God and former Chancellor Carol Folt know the truth ...

Recitation: The time in which your 300-person lecture gets whittled into a cozy 15-person discussion session that meets once a week. If just hearing the phrase "participation grade" knocks a tenth of a point off your GPA, then welcome to your personal hell. 

Rushing Franklin: Forget hitting the crosswalk button, motor traffic doesn't matter whenever we win against Dook. Students will run from the Dean Dome, South Campus residence halls, Davis, etc. all the way to Franklin Street to burn couches and set off fireworks. May leave you with scorched tennis shoes.

SASB: Acronym for Student and Academic Services Building; pronounced Saz-bee. There are two different SASBs, North and South, located right next to each other. If you're confused, luckily there are a number of learning resources inside each one of them (though we don't know which). 

Silent Sam: The former Confederate statue that sat at the entrance to McCorkle Place. It was torn down the day before fall 2018 FDOC. Incited protests throughout the year, and is the The Daily Tar Heel's nightmare.

Streakers: As a stress-relieving measure, many students run naked through the two major libraries, the UL and Davis, at midnight before the first final each semester. Surprisingly, streaking in December isn't very *cough, cough* flattering. Might want to avoid the libraries until facilities comes through and sanitizes later that night. 

SBP: Acronym for Student Body President, who will be Ashton Martin for the 2019-2020 academic year. Though most of us don't even know what it is that the SBP does, we all do collectively pray for a juicy scandal to come forth around election time. Check out our archive for this past election's scandalous behavior. 

Sups: Sup Dogs on Franklin Street. Has a Barstool Sports award for the “Best Bar” at their Greenville, N.C., location. May be inaccessible on mug night, pint night and most other nights. 

Top of Lenoir: Also known as Lenoir Dining Hall. Arguably the most convenient dining hall, though it may contain a loud DJ during the occasional "Late Night at Lenoir" event.  

TOPO: Pronounced TOP-OH. This refers to the popular date spot and bar, Top of the Hill, which overlooks Franklin Street. Don't be the person who brings their date to TOPO on Valentine's Day without a reservation unless you REALLY want to get to know them. 

UL, The: (or just “UL”): The Robert B. House Undergraduate Library, cleverly situated between Wilson and Davis library, is open 24-hours sometimes. 

Varsity, The: A movie theater on Franklin Street; shockingly, no one has opened a cart selling DVDs in front of the theater called JV.
