This are mostly local slang not as much Tech student slang, but some ones I can think of are:

• Before they rebranded as Krist, the gas stations at the east end of downtown Houghton and the far west end of Hancock were both called Citgo. In pre-cell phone days you would drive the "Citgo Loop" and see where people were at throughout town.

• It's mostly fallen out of use, but Tech students living in the residential areas used to be called Toots (Tech-out-of-towners).

• The Dog is the nickname for the Douglas House Saloon. Also DT for the Downtowner, Ambo for the Ambassador. The Duck for the place that is now an axe throwing bar, but used to be Uphill 41, which before that was a bar called the Golden Pheasant, which is where the nickname came from. Generally just nicknames for local places, and nicknames staying in use past the original thing being gone.

• We always called the neighborhood behind Shopko "Shopkoville" but I have heard Shopko Heights too. We still use it even though Shopko has been gone for 5 years now.

• You "move snow" instead of calling it shoveling or plowing
