Do a Cummings 

Share definition Flag
To blatantly break rules, the law, or social norms out of sense of arrogance, superiority and entitlement, especially when you get away with it or face only tokenistic punishment, thus provoking disgust, anger and resentment amongst the wider public who are expected to abide by those same rules and punished if they don’t. Named in honour of Dominic Cummings, one-time right-hand man to British PM Boris Johnson, who during the first covid lockdown drove across the country from London to Durham to his parents, and made various trips in the local area, later stating these were necessary to ‘test his eyesight’. He kept his job.
Bob: I got pulled over for speeding last night, but the cop let me off with just a stern word after I told him I’m close friends with the police chief.
Tod: wow! Sounds like you really did a Cummings there.

Covid marshall: you’re out in public in lockdown without a valid reason and are therefore being given a £100 fine.
Average ordinary chump: ah man, if I was rich and well-connected I could have done a Cummings and gotten away with this.

Wife: I caught you red-handed in bed with another woman.
Husband: but I had to see another woman in a state of undress in order to test my eyesight.
Wife: don’t try and do a Cummings with me!

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.
