a moment

Share definition Flag
A silent moment between two people (either gender, hetrosexual, homosexual, or bi-sexual) in which prolonged eye contact is made and initial feelings of attraction are felt. Often referred to simply as a "moment."
In the Mexican (2001, Dreamworks), Samantha (Julia Roberts) is in a diner with Winston(James Gandolfini), whom Samantha believes to be Leroy, and as they have a discussion, Winston gazes up and looks across the diner and makes prolonged eye-contact with another man, pauses, and then resumes his conversation with Samantha:

Samantha- What was that?

Winston-What?

Samantha-That. That moment you had.

Winston-What moment?

Samantha-Leroy, you just checked out that guy and had a moment.

Samantha-That was a moment.

Winston-I don't know if it was a moment.

Samantha-(Are you gay?)

Winston-- As in happy?
Samantha- As in homosexual.

A Moment Of Clarity

The shittiest metal core band in Massachusetts. Band members consisting of Vibhor Sharma as vocalist, Peter as guitarist, Kevin Landers as bassist and main fatass, JV as second guitarist, and Conor Deer as drums. With cheesy tag line "Girl you DTF?" this band screams immature, literally! The band was formed in 2010. Their first song released on Myspace was titled 'Places Where You Shouldn't Get Poison Ivy'. The band somehow manages to book many shows across New England. Even though defeat and cancellations have been faced because venue owners don't want "goth faggots" playing, AMOC finds a way. If you do see them live, prepare to be let down. Their songs on Myspace are so auto tuned that they sound nothing like represented. Also expect to be insulted and in tears for lack of better music.
Person A: Yo man, want to hit up a concert tonight?
Person B: Hell yeah, dude! Let's see whose playing at the Wonderland Ballroom tonight.
Person C: Guys, NO! I heard A Moment Of Clarity was playing there tonight. Remember what happened when we saw them live last time?
Person A: Fuck no let's go somewhere else, they're terrible.
Person B: Yeah! Let's go to a concert with a GOOD band.

A classic copy-pasta often attributed to rms but contains parts that he denied being from him. It's best used whenever you see a debate over the correct format of Linux and GNU/Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

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.
