25 things PLNU students don’t say

Students have become accustomed to the PLNU troupes, clichés and sayings that surround them at PLNU: Hipster, Ring by Spring and Christianese, to name a couple. We thought it’d be fun to produce a list of things that oppose these cliché sayings. So, for your comedic enjoyment, here is a satirical list of the outrageous phrases that PLNU students would never say.
