"pastrami"/kielbasa

[Johanna N Franklin]

    A similar cheer is currently in use at Carnegie Mellon University in
Pittsburgh.  I think it's

    Oomshashasha Oomshashasha hit 'em in the head with a big kielbasa

kielbasa pronounced pretty much according to the dictionary.

But as far as I can tell, there's nothing ethnic about it anymore...
they also yell

    We are big, they are teeny hit 'em in the head with a green zucchini
