An Old Orange County Joke

by Suzanne Broughton
Monday, January 07, 2008

I read all of the Levitz Furniture Stores are closing and it reminded me of an old Orange County joke. When I attended Golden West College, about twenty years ago (yikes!), we students used to say we went to "UBL" (University Behind Levitz) when someone asked where we attended college.
I guess those days are now officially over. The students could say they attend "UBBT" (University Behind Bella Terra) but that doesn't hold the same punch.

  • OMG!!

    I just squirted milk out my nose from laughing at that.

    I haven't heard that in YEARS!

    Thanks for the laugh

  • Funny... That was exactly the same thing I thought when I heard Levitz was closing: "What will they call GWC now?!?"

    At least we still have "Tangerine Tech," "Cal State Disneyland," and the "University of Chinese Immigrants."

    (I don't make 'em up -- I just report 'em.)

  • My former English teacher from high school used to call Cypress College UCLA--University of Cypress off Lincoln Avenue. I still laugh at that one.
