Lounge Rat

(n.) a person that inhabits the lounge in flint hall of syracuse university. they can be identified by their constant wear of sweat pants or pajamas with sneakers and frequent unprovoked personal outbursts. they only use mac books and loose all bodily function if you dare change the channel on the television. sometimes they turn the lounge into their own personal bedrooms. typically lounge rats only socialize with and date other lounge rats. they do not acknowledge other students who do not frequent the lounge. they will attempt to mooch your food, even though you have never talked to them before. its a closed clique and those of us who look in from the outside feel that we don’t belong in the lounge.

college students who insist on constantly taking up sp-ce in a residence hall’s lounge. lounge rats tend to partially complete homework, listen to annoying music, talk obnoxiously loud, and facebook while in the lounge. lounge rats are uniquely annoying due to the fact that sitting in the lounge all of the time makes it awkward for everyone else that has to walk by.
