Plan For Antonin Scalia School Of Law Is Tweaked Over Unfortunate Acronym

It must have seemed a straightforward way to honor a U.S. Supreme Court justice who was famous for, among other things, prizing straightforwardness. But then people began to titter about the unintended acronym of the Antonin Scalia School of Law — and now George Mason University has tweaked the name.

I don't get it. Wouldn't it have made more sense to leave it as is?

Or ASSoL?

Or ASSoL?

That would be the most appropriately named thing in the entire history of forever.

Yes, absolutely. Laughed my ASSoL off.

The only thing funnier than them naming it the ASSoL was that it took someone donating 30 million dollars to convince them to do it.

They're changing it to "Antonin Scalia Law School" (ASLS). Right, that's an improvement.

The man has a middle initial. What's wrong with AGS School of Law?

The cat's already out of the bag, people will have a tendency to drop the middle initial anyway.

"I graduated from Antonin Scalia."

"What an asshole..."

"No no no, the Antonin G. Scalia School of Law."

"Oh, that ASSoL."
