Blockly: Describes the frequency with which many CC events occur on the Block Plan. May be modified with once, twice, etc.

Mod Pod: The temporary modular building behind Palmer Hall that houses the Writing Center and provides extra space during the library renovation.
T.W.I.T.: Although this could be perceived as an insult, at CC it stands for Theatre Workshop Improv Troupe, a group of students who are not twits, but are very talented!
