Back of the room Boys

Share definition Flag
The group of boys that is always present in the rear of every high school classroom. Usually consists of at least 3, but can be a bigger group. There's typically the group leader, who tells the best jokes, and who causes the most chaos during class. There's also the team player, who takes notes and sometimes brings food for the group; playing a crucial role as the "support member" of the group. This allows other group members to goof off, knowing that the team player has their back later on when they're doing homework or studying. The remaining member(s) are the munchers, who consume vast quantities of food during their occupation, even if they aren't hungry. This is usually done in an attempt to piss off the teacher, or to get a few good natured laughs from their classmates. Sometimes they also provide "belching fire" to distract the teacher so other members can engage in hooligan behavior, such as hitting a vape under the desk, or shooting spitballs at the ceiling.

"Ugh. The back of the room Boys are at it again. I heard they put a thumbtack on Mr White's chair last week."

The Back of the Room Boys 

Share definition Flag
Group of boys common in most classroom settings, usually consisting of 3, but can be more. They take up residence in the rear of a classroom; usually by the heating unit or a dusty bookshelf/filing cabinet. They use this area as their base of operations, as it's really easy to get away with goofing off in class. Some behaviors they take part in include, (but aren't limited to) consuming vast quantities of food, (sometimes for the soul purpose of making loud crunching sounds to piss off their classmates), burping really loud, kicking others seats, shooting volleys of spitballs, telling dirty jokes, destruction of school-owned property and overall being an absolute distraction to the current lesson at hand. Sometimes the group will migrate out of their dugout to the bathroom, where they can continue their bad behavior in a more private setting; such as vaping, or taking a monster shit in the urinal.

Teacher: "thank you, Jeffrey. As for you Kyle, I sentence you to the gulag! And that goes for the rest of you back of the room hooligans!"

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
