minus-squarerobolemmy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 months agoBack in the dark ages of the 1950s or 1960s, there was a fairly common slang initialism “BMOC” which stood for big man on campus. So this panel riffs on that with “HBOC” meaning hunchback on campus.

minus-squareJohnnyCanuck@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·4 months agoBMOC was pretty common at one point for “Big Man on Campus” so I think it’s a play on that. Though the QB was often a BMOC, so you’re not far off!
