I thought f.urd was supposed be an extension of turd, so in that case the insult is pretty clear, as long as you're on the "in" and know what 'f.urd is implying. "college near a BART" is only an insult if you think that BART, or public transportation in general, is somehow negative.
Personally, I think UC East Bay is a clearer insult. It hits on several levels: (a) they're just another school in the UC system and are trending towards losing their cache (b) they are referred to by so many names (C.al, B.erkely, California, UC B.erkeley) that one more name doesn't even add to the confusion and © makes use of the general reputation of the East Bay as being a bit down market.
But then again, I'm one of those who would rather put a "." in C.al so that my posts done read more incoherently than the gibberish I purposely type.
