Bobst - meaning

(verb) (BOE-bst) To commit suicide by jumping off the red building that is NYU's premier, state-of-the-art library. The building is red with the stains of BLOOD. On the other hand, Kimmel across the street does not have suicide ramps. It would be much easier to Bobst there.

Oh yay, I go to NYU and I'm emo. Therefore, I hate my life. Let me go Bobst myself!

"Someone died?"
"Yep, he Bobsted himself"
