Latin honors
[["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s satirical song "[[White &amp; Nerdy]]" (2006) riffs upon MIT, along with a plenitude of other [[geek culture]] references — "[[Star Wars Holiday Special]]," [[pocket protector]]s, and editing [[Wikipedia]], to name a few. Yankovic claims that he graduated "first in [his] class here at MIT" (however, in actuality MIT does not assign class rankings or confer traditional [[Latin honors]] upon its graduates).
