BBC Ghosts

Share definition Flag
A comedy series made by the six idiots or 'them there'. It is on the BBC (which should be obvious) and currently has four series (with Christmas specials). It is about a couple who move into a haunted house and the ghosts there just want the attention of the one living that can see them.

The group starred in the series horrible histories, so all the eras and references about each ghost is historically accurate, like Kitty being discriminated for her colour and the Captain making reference to 'a friend of Dorothy' (old slang for being gay)

Ghosts include:
Soppy poet (Mat Baynton), Emotionally repressed homosexual war captain (Ben Willbond), Baby child(Lolly Adefope), Tory (Simon Farnaby), PTSD(Katy Wix), Fun dad(Jim Howick), the headless one who is constantly bullied (Larry Rickard),"the gray lady"(I refuse to make a joke about her name)(Martha Howe-Douglas), Ooga booga (Larry Rickard) and the under appreciate plague ghosts. Like Walter was an artist alright. Nigel is fabulous and I know Mick killed them all, but as they said, no disagreement lasts more than twenty/twenty-five years. And they all died together in their plague pit and are experts with the boiler. They need more content. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Person 1: you really like BBC ghosts don't you, which is why you keep making obscure references.
Person 2: noo..... must've been another caveman....
Person 1: of course it is

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
