Bernie Madoff 

A wake-up call to learn how to invest your own money instead of relying on others to do a worse job than you could have done guessing.
Don't Bernie Madoff your investments. Do it yourself and avoid poverty.

Bernie Madoff 

Cum in a girls eyes so that they are completely blind and throw her face-down on the floor. Quickly get dressed and then take her money as you leave. As you run out the door, yell "Gotcha bitch!".
"Alright boys im buying tonight. I Bernie Madoff-ed some bitch last night so I have an extra $200 laying around."

Bernie Madoff Bargain 

A sweet deal on a house or apartment, presumably in the general area of NYC or Palm Beach, which is a direct result of its owner having sustained a significant loss in the Bernie Madoff fraud.
Julianna: We just bought Julia's Palm Beach home last week for a fraction of what it's really worth, what a Bernie Madoff Bargain.

The poor woman was fleeced by Bernie and she needed to raise cash fast.

Burnie Madeoff 

An irritably sarcastic term for someone who spends foolishly/wastefully (money burns a hole in his pocket), habitually fails to repay loans (he made off with the money and nobody ever saw it again), or is otherwise irresponsible with money to a major degree.
Dude #1: I was asked for a loan of ten bucks by Jack Smith; I wondered what you thought of his reliability in paying it back.
Dude#2: Jack Smith?! No way, Buddy --- you don't wanna give **anything** to that moochin' jerk --- he's just a Burnie Madeoff!

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

SkyPesos 

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.
- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.
