I shall throw my toys out of the perambulator. But you will probably get some strange looks here if you use it as a synonym for university. And 'iq' is surely an acronym rather than an abbreviation.


Have you some good toys, w4at? Because we are always on the lookout for our grandchildren. But what does varsity mean if it is not university? I can tell you are of the same ilk of people that won't let me have 'ok'.

I think I'll stick to navel-gazing, Tafkaj. Seems a bit easier to spell. (Though I did type 'naval' first; still, you can gaze at boats.)

But what does varsity mean if it is not university? I can tell you are of the same ilk of people that won't let me have 'ok'.

In UK, I think, "varsity" is mainly used adjectivally, as in "varsity match", and most commonly of Oxbridge. Very few people would talk of "going to varsity". I wouldn't let you have 'ok' in a game of Scrabble, since it's not allowed and therefore not okay. My Chambers lists "OK", which suggests it may be an acronym, possibly derived from 'Orl Korrect'.

What do you say for going to university, then, w4at? Uni? I don't like that - it seems American to me, or at least of a younger generation. We always talked about going back to varsity, etc. Not used much as an adjective here.

I suspect "uni" is English rather than American, and its use is quite widespread here now, particularly - as you suggest, Caro - among the younger generation. I think most people who can't bring themselves to use it - and I struggle - would say "university".
