I despise the term "Zoobies"

what does it even mean? where did it come from? Never understood it at all... I mean, really, "zoobies." Ok? Is that supposed to be offensive? Sounds like a noise a baby would make...

I always understood it to mean the douchebag, holier-than-thou, act REALLY weird cause I'm at BYU, throw water balloons at random people, hypocritical, judgmental head cases that give BYU a bad name. I have no problem calling them zoobies, and that's who I refer to when I say it. I hope I haven't offended anyone by using it, because I don't think of any of you as a zoob.

They're also cute, cuddly, 3-in-1 animal/pillow/blankets!!

I personally don't care for the term either, and I've taken no offense, Schmoe from any of your usage, because I know to whom you are referring. But hearing others refer to BYU students as Zoobs or even anyone from Utah County as a Zoobie is ridiculous.



At least 90% of our student body has actually traveled the world, how many universities can say that?

Not sure, but I think it was started by Provo High students, overcompensating for being high school students in a college town.

My neighbor says is it someone who wears birkenstocks or tevas with socks and that goes to byu :D

I suppose they may not like us using the phrase Utards or Yewtah or any number of choice phrases we are inclined to use that go the other way.



Perhaps they do like...in which case, they should stop saying zoobies as that is mildly offensive.

Doesn't bother me. Just goes with the territory. Usually it's a Ute thinking that he's taunting me so much that it'll hurt. "Sticks and stones may......."

I think we all know several BYU grads who would fall under the zoobie definition. I have no problem with it. It fits those to whom it applies.

What's worse, being a Zoobie or belonging to the Muss? I vote Muss.

I would rather be a Zoobie than a Utard.... any day!

Excellent point. and while one can go to BYU game and avoid being a zoobie, one cannot go to the U and avoid being a part of a big smelly muss.

So.... Mighty Utah Stink Section..... I like it. :lol:

I find that people who use the term lack an extensive vocabulary.



No offense Schmoe

HAHAHAHA! :lol:

AFA cadets routinely refer to themselves as "Zoomies," having attended school at a "zoo."



I can only assume the MUSS is trying to call BYU a zoo.
