Duchess Urbino's definitions

Gunner

A person who goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. It only has a negative connotation to those who aren't gunners. The term isn't actually about peers. It is about the person who wants it most. The person willing to stay up every night of the week to get it done.

If you want something done, get Christina, she is a gunner.
