Someone who is not good enough, up to par, achieves satisfactory expectations. Someone who would be the best at what they do if only they are given the chance, which they never do.
Friend 1: Hey! What happened to Cindy? I heard she went home.
Friend 2: Yea, she was only an alternate so they had better people in line before her. So she didn't get the position she wanted and was turned away.

1) Someone who constantly and compulsively uses things that arent generally considered to be "mainstream", or the alternatives to mainstream things, for the sake of being different.
2) Someone who changes standard, generally-accepted colloquialisms into less known versions (i.e. 'Bing it', rather than 'Google it')

Get the Alternativist mug."Al-turd-ative"....A variation of the similar word "Alternative".... Meaning the decision of a girl wishing to remain a virgin to take it up the butt instead of having vaginal sex.... the thought process being that anal sex isn't a violation of chastity vows since it doesn't break the hymen.
The girl said she wouldn't have vaginal intercourse cuz she wanted to technically stay a virgin but, she offered me anal sex as an "al-turd-ative" (alturdative).
