dot edu

College web ending

Dot edu (.edu) is an internet domain suffix reserved for accredited educational institutions, primarily American colleges and universities.

By extension, it characterizes the academic world and its culture: That's very dot-edu of you suggests someone is being professorial, overly theoretical, or trapped in ivory-tower thinking.

She's still in her dot-edu phase implies someone hasn't yet entered the "real world."
