I.e., 13 minutes to 9. Code for the score of the Pitt-West Virginia game (The Backyard Brawl) played on Dec. 1, 2007 in Morgantown, when 28.5-point underdog Pitt defeated WVU, 13-9, ruining the Mountaineers' chance to play for the BCS championship and their first-ever national title. The upset knocked WVU out of the title game, spoiled Christmas for the Mountain State, and was described as "an absolute nightmare" by their teary-eyed homegrown head coach, who promptly ran off scared to the University of Michigan.

And Panther fans loved every second of it.
What time is the witching hour in West Virginia?

I dunno, what?

8:47

Why?

Because it's 13 to 9!!!! Hail to Pitt!

8:47 Faraway Stare 

Share definition Flag
The point of every episode of House where the titular character, during a mundane conversation about everyday life that's not at all medically related to the case at hand, looks off into the distance and solves the diagnosis out of nowhere. Usually it happens at or around the 47 minute mark of the episode, give or take a minute.
The patient almost died 3 times but, while making fun of Cuddy's eye shadow color, House somehow figured out the patient had Lyme Disease after all thanks to an 8:47 Faraway Stare.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

Utility beer 

Share definition Flag
Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
