7. "Sips". I understand why an Aggie would find this distasteful, but it just reinforces the stereotype of A&M being the unwashed and UT being more cultured.


If you understood the history of the term you'd get it. They hate this term especially the older ones. The implication is that all the UT men stayed home during WW2 sitting on their front porch sipping tea while the Aggies were off fighting Nazis and Japs. There is some truth to this.
