Bethnal Green 

Share definition Flag
An area in the East End of London, located in the borough of Tower Hamlets, with the post code E2.

A lively area with many sub-continental shops such as Bangladeshi fruit and Veg shops, Saree and Indian Gold Shops, along with the traditional British Market Stalls.

The area is predominantly full of Bangladeshi people, making up 45% of the local areas population, whilst white poeple have a 38% population.

What was once a hub for the National Front, who used to terrorise the local Bangladeshi's (even killing one: Altab Ali), has now become an ugly battlefield for young Asian Youths.

Gangs such as Turin Street Massive, White Flatz, Shoreditch Massive, Green Bangerz and Fellows Court all roam the streets in this relatively small geographical area.

In the last couple of years, crime has been on the increase such as racial assualts, mugging people, teenage stabbings, turf war, priests getting attacked and even 2 murders!

In Tower Hamlets, Bethnal Green accounts for most of the boroughs crime. It has now eclipsed the former notorious gang "Brick Lane Massive".

Altogether, when these gangs combine they are known as "€2 Cartel......we got it on lock". These gangs have been very deadly, having brutal gang warefare in North London, especially Hollaway Road and in South London with the Peel Dem Crew (PDC)

Bettina is often short and really cute. Everyone describes her as cute because she just is, there is no explanation to it. She has the most beautiful green eyes you've ever seen, and blonde hair. She got this great, unique personality. She's really funny, and sometimes there's just random shit coming out of her mouth. Bettina often curses a lot, and if you get on her bad side, she could turn into a bitch real fast. But besides that Bettina is a person who really cares about everyone, but never talks about her own feelings. She is that type of person you never want to loose. If your'e lucky enough to have a Bettina in your life, don't fuck it up. You will miss her.
Omg, she's so perfect!
I know, she's a Bettina!

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
