What is Red Cup?
1.
The harbinger for consumption of alcohol in undergraduate colleges everywhere. The irony is that the original intention was to conceal the content of the cup, as the drinkers are all underage, versus a clear plastic cup that gives away the amber goodness intrinsic of most beers. There's been such widespread integration of the red plastic drinking cup that it's immediately obvious that a red cup signifies consumption of alcoholic beverages.
You: I'm using my red cup as my vessel for ol' Jack D. ... no one will have any idea that I'm drinking alcohol. I'm deceptive and clever.
Me: walks away, chortling in amusement.
