santi

a word used by the friends and the members of the band the academy is…
“santi” was the shortened version of “santiago,” the last name of a boy that adam t. siska (b-ssist for the band), knew and strongly disliked in high school. perhaps “santi” was initially used as a way to refer to santiago derisively, but eventually the band began to use it as a greeting, a word of praise, or an expression of anything good.
fans made adam about a million shirts that said “santi” on it for a while, which he was delighted about.
“santi” was also tatooed on andy mrotek aka butcher, the drummer for the band. you can see it for a moment in the video of the band’s song “slow down.” the tatoo was located on his b-tt before he replaced it with a different one.
tai fan: what the h-ll does santi mean????
other tai fan: no one’s really sure, actually.
everything positive.

the academy is…’s lead vocalist william beckett told blunt magazine:
adam and i went to the same high school, and there was this dude there named josh santiago. i was doing a solo project at the time, and i was listening to different music than most people. so this one guy in particular, josh, gave me a h-ll of a time, like busted my chops and called me negative names like “f-g” and stuff. he was just that kinda guy. so we started saying santi as everything that wasn’t him – everything that was positive, just because he was such a negative dude and such a terrible person. so we started saying santi as something funny and kinda cool, kinda like a “cheers” or we say it as a greeting.
