The part of hell that is frozen over.

The maiden land of Odysseus, the main character in the Odyssey.

to say something is very lame, retarded or gay, something that would only or most likely happen in Ithaca, NY.

Ithaca is a very rare name. I honestly don't even know if anyone is named this but, if they were.. Ithacas would be very honest and upfront about things. The type of person who when pissed off will tell you to your face. Ithaca will produce great offspring and is probaly very sexy. Everyone goes crazy over theyre looks and body. Ithaca can drink and do drugs whenever but actually knows when to stop. They will tend to be more on the crazy side and will find theyre own path of heartbreak. Ithaca will lead to suicide. They will probably die from suicide as well. Don't get too close, but if your already there, your a lucky bastard so appreciate it. Sex comes easy for Ithacas and will be very long lasting and enjoyful. Ithacas tend to be great advice givers and can very very reliable when in need of a laugh. They are trustworthy and can be very arousing just to talk to. Ithacas tend to be passionate lovers. They will do anything to make anyone BESIDES themselves happy. Theyre used as a great role model but can be a complete bitch/asshole at times. They usually end up being soooo amazing that they rub off on people and have many jelous followers. Animals steal theyre hearts and they love photos. They sometimes act as a whore. Ithaca can also refer to weed. They sleep with people. Heartbreakers but loveable. THEY WILL DRIVE YOU INSANE!!!!!!! They love long walks, cars, and talking to walls. They can talk to anyone about anything and are usually outgoing. GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

1. A beautiful, awesome hippie town in Central New York. Seriously, it kicks all ass. There is Cornell University, and (partly because of that), has a great cultural diversity. Best of all, its ANTI-BUSH!

2. Odysseus's homeland in 'The Odyssey'

Everyone gets a shot of whiskey and stands in a huge circle. The first person takes a shot and gets slapped by the person to their right. The person that just slapped someone then takes their shot and gets slapped by the person to THEIR right. This goes continuously until all shots have been taken and all faces have been slapped.

**Usually happens at an after-party for Roller Derby, but can happen at any time/any place where whiskey is present.

A phrase found on the front of many shirts - usually white on a green back. Originates from the collegetown of Ithaca, NY (Home of Cornell University and Ithaca College). The shirt is a play on words - emphasizing the natrual beauty of Ithaca, as well as commenting on the gorges abundant in the area. Has become a indie culture icon lately. Lately, variations of the shirt have appeared - such as the following

Derogatory name for Cornell University, located in Ithaca, NY, implying that it is part of the public SUNY system and not the more prestigious Ivy league. Although Cornell is a private school it does receive funding from the state, so there may be some truth in the name.

to embark on an imaginary journey, as suggested by Constantine P Cavafy in the poem 'Ithaca', it is the journey, not the destination, that is to be enjoyed.
