Any competition directly relating to material learned in an academic environment that sends feelings of trepidation down one’s spine when mentioned, in which the participants are still attending some form of school attempt to show off their acquired knowledge.
Spelling Bee, Geography Bee, Math League, Knowledge Bowl, Knowledge Masters, Academic Triathlon, Robotics Team, Model United Nations, Intel Science Talent Search, etc … are examples of academic competitions.

Get the academic competition mug.a spectacular comet that came close to the Earth in early 1996. It was a total surprise for the public so the end-of-the-millenium doomsayers and New Age crackpots couldn't bombard us with their superstitious bullshit. It was visible to the unaided eye and was "something to talk about" in the office and computer lab. It sported an unusually long tail. A thrill. Mere months after the comet's appearance, Comet Hale-Bopp graced our skies.
Comet Hyakutake was discovered by the Japanese astronomer Yuji Hyakutake. The brilliance of the comet made Yuji a celebrity, particularly in Japan.

When rivalry between opponents in any matter intensifies and sinks to the most trivial, nit-picking, inane and embarrassingly immaterial level it becomes "compettytive" or infinitesimally petty. In such cases it is common to up the ante in an endless race toward utter nonsense and possible humiliation. AND against all rationality, the stakes can be ridiculously high.
BACKGROUND: The origins of this sort of struggle is a bastardization of G.W. F. Hegel's description of the Master-Slave dialectic, outlined in his "Phenomenology of Spirit" as an encounter between two subjects "who engage in a 'struggle to the death' before one enslaves the other, only to find that this does not give him the control over the world he has sought." (Wikipedia).

Rumor has it that in order to gain a seat in Congress, LBJ sunk to unethical compettytive depths in 1949 by accusing his wealthy and favored pig-farming opponent of having "routine carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows, despite the pleas of his wife and children."

Get the Competition mug.A city, person, or company doesn't need to be competitive. Being yourself even if it doesn't attract, or even repels people, is at least not compromising who or what you are to attract or impress people.
I'd rather live in a city that hasn't sold it's soul to developers and the real estate market that grows slowly over a city that sold out to get everyone to move there. I'd rather work for a company that didn't sell itself to grow bigger over one that did but became profitable. I'd rather be me than you or somebody else, no matter who hates me for it. How can anyone like someone uber competitive who will become anyone or anything to win at all costs?

Get the Ironman Competition mug.When two people make out for a competition. Usually, girls go to one wing of the stage and boys go to the other. The girls line up in no particular order and the boys do too. When the bell rings, the first person in each line has to go onstage and make out for ten minutes. Sometimes total strangers have to make out. The best makeout-ers get a prize.
Harrison had always liked Charlotte. She was just so pretty. When he heard that Charlotte was going to join the makeout competition for Year 8 at his school, he decided to join too. He prayed each night that he would kiss Charlotte at the makeout competition.
When he arrived that Tuesday, there were many people. In the crowd he saw Janice. He had hated Janice for as long as he liked Charlotte. He prayed that it wouldn't be Janice.
In the waiting room, he waited in line. The bell rang. After ten minutes, the bell rang again. In the fourth pair, Harrison could see from the TV that it was Charlotte on stage, kissing Anthony. This made Harrison immediately sad. When he went out, he stopped in his tracks. It was Janice! Both of them groaned as they slowly approached.
Reluctantly, their lips touched. They started kissing, slow and dry, until Harrison decided to put his tongue in Janice's mouth. He shoved it in and they started heavily making out. Their tongues touched, licked, wrestled. Harrison felt some saliva enter his mouth. He decided to mix it up with his saliva and let it drool back into Janice's. Harrison, having hated her all the time, decided to make use of those ten minutes. He held Janice's head close to him and started licking her oral features. Janice did the same back to Harrison. Harrison and Janice stood there with tongues active and with each other's drool flowing down their chins. The bell finally rang. When they parted, a long spit bridge hung between them.
