Sadly, it was pretty easy to guess the college by the abbreviating conventions employed in the excerpt. They're probably been doing that for decades.

I bet she overheard people talking that way at the CoHo.

I like to think that guy won a bet that he could get America's most prestigious newspaper to pay him to smoke dope and go to Disneyworld.

I am never going to Disneyland, much less Disneyworld. I will never understand why some people want to.

I think you mean that you'd never go to DiLo, much less DiWo.

I vowed, vowed that I would never set foot in Florida again when my last grandparent died. Then my awesome cousin got a professorship there and proposes to host us, his west coast cousins and my French cousin, since he's halfway. I can't miss that. (But I WILL, if anyone suggests DiWo.) I should know better than to make vows. God loves to make a man break his promise.

EPCOT was like my favorite thing EVAR when i 7 or so. The only reason it wouldn't be now is is the "oh that is sort of right, but really its SO much more complicated, let me explain it to you..." reaction.

Disney Land can be alright if you take enough extasy.

I keep thinking that "New Slang" is the name of a jazz album, but it's actually the name of a Shins song.
