IPolynese

IPolynese is an "extension" of English that is used by IPolynesians. IPolynese can be traced as far back as 1993, although not by name, when the first classes began using terms such as "Up" to describe locations they went to regularly. The name "IPolynese" was coined by Mr. Hogan.

Vista
Vista is the CalPoly student-run store where most students get drinks and ramen. It is across the soccer field near the boy's locker room, making it the closest place to buy food on CalPoly.

Up
Up is the CalPoly student center, where Subway, Panda Express, and a few other stores reside. Its name comes from early students that would say phrases like "I'm going up", and eventually Up became the name.

Up Up
Up Up is another CalPoly food court, where a Taco Bell resides. The name comes from Up, but is called Up Up because it is even further north from IPoly than Up is.

Up Up Up
All the information known about Up Up Up is from Mr. Strand's description. According to him, there is an Einstein Bagels store. However, most students will never make it there during lunch, because of how far north Up Up Up is.

Up Up and Away
Up Up and Away refers to the Subway and Carl's Jr. down the street from IPoly campus. Because students would have to cross a street to get to it, only juniors and seniors can go to Up Up and Away during lunch.

Farm Store
The Farm Store is CalPoly's market, across the street from IPoly's parking lot (Lot K). Because sophomores and freshmen are not allowed to cross streets, and they can't drive, the Farm Store is inaccessible for most students. It is the home of the famed Leninade.

ROP Room
The ROP Room is room 2002, where "ROP" is an acronym for "Regional Occupation Program", the first room on the right of the elevator upstairs. The ROP/CTE Film classes are taught in there. Room 2002 is really three rooms. The largest room is the actual classroom, where students can watch/give presentations, edit videos, and set up their scene. The next room is much smaller and holds all of the control panels for lights and cameras in the main room. The room is soundproof with a large window to the main room. The last room is the same size as the second, and stores all of the extra equipment. Because of how isolated and soundproof the room is, it is often used to record voice and other sounds.

Lot K
Lot K is IPoly's parking lot, which used to be the school campus itself. Some of the first teachers there own or used to own a t-shirt reading "Lot K: I go to school in a parking lot".

Freshie
Freshie is a friendly nickname for freshman used by upperclassmen. Freshies is used to refer to multiple freshmen.

Froshmore
A Froshmore is a sophomore that still acts as if they were a freshman.

House
IPoly's Houses are North, South, East, and West. These houses determine who you share classes with. For example, a student in West house will have the same schedule of core classes as every other West house student. Note that electives are not affected by houses. During That's Infotainment!, the houses become Human Rights, Ecology, Eco-tech, and Global Pandemics.

There has been some evidence suggesting that the four Houses used to be named after the Hogwarts houses, but this has yet to be confirmed. According to Jordan Vysma, and IPoly graduate, the houses (North, South, East, and West) used to also have an assigned continent, and each houses' curriculum was centered around that.

Project Season
Project season refers to the weeks at the end of a semester when the most project components are due. It is possibly one of the most stressful times of the year. During project season, many students get PCSD.

Don't be Bob
Don't be Bob is a phrase said to people who are not doing their part in a project, "Bob" being the character Mr. Hogan uses in his first-day introduction. In the story, Bob is the group member that doesn't pull his weight and instead has his group members do it for him. "Jasmine" is the alternate female character.
