Term used to describe the fact that Tulane students are attending Boston University. Students from Tulane are now spread across the country taking classes because of Hurricane Katrina. This student diaspora is unprecendented and therefore there were no terms to describe it. How is a student from Tulane who is taking classes for a semester at BU supposed to describe what school he attends. These students came up with a clever term that works especially well in writing because of the capitalization of BU and the pronunciation. The blending does not work well in speech.
