Calgaria

Share definition Flag
The mental affliction where ridiculously expensive housing in the City of Calgary, Alberta seems normal. This is transferable to any city with insanely high housing prices.
When new people move to Calgary and see how high housing prices are they are usually shocked. This proves they haven't been infected with Calgaria yet.

A typical Calgarian forms part of a giant collective or hive mind. Unlike the Borg, it is almost impossible to become assimilated into this 'old boys network'.

They have robotic tendancies and will eat meals at the same time as their peers. Everything is perfect for the Calgarian, and they rarely find the need to discover the world beyond the Calgary city limits; preferring to visit the zoo for the 1019th time.

The Calgarian often drives a large pick up truck, although rarely uses the rear box to transport cargo. SUVs are becoming more popular, and often driven by mothers.

The lower class Calgarian is often distinguished by their appearance; often sporting a large greasy mullet topped with a 'Molsen Canadian' baseball cap. These are often spotted around areas known as Dover or Forest Lawn.

Musical tastes are limited to country, 'lite rock' and US-style Hip hop and clothing fashions are often 2-3 years behind other major centers in the world.
That was great hockey last night eh?

The complete and true embodiment of the definition of the word 'basic'. The females of the species are often seen in public sporting yoga pants, swell water bottles, oversized fake nails, a large latte from Rosso or Phil & Sebastian and a minimum of two ill-raised screaming children. The males can be seen driving Ford F150s customized to span three lanes, whilst clad head to toe in Flames apparel (or an overpriced suit) with a rear-window decal reading 'Git'er Done' or 'Support Domestic Violence'. If the windows of the pussay magnet are down at a red light you'll almost certainly hear the racist ramblings of Ted Nugent or the raw dick-kicking power of Nickleback flowing boisterously out into the street at Lollapalooza-like volume. Weekday activities include 'working hard' from 9-5, practicing entitlement, taking highway exits at the last possible second from the far left lane, saying prayers to oil and not minding their own fucking business. Weekend activities include the zoo, Superstore, teaching children entitlement in public places like busy cafes, 'walking around' or enjoying the mundanity of St. Patrick's Island.
- Woah that guy in the business suit with the flames hat just lost his shit at the cashier for not smiling enough when she gave him his coffee.

-Oh don't mind him he's just Calgarian.

Calgarian:

-was able to buy overpriced things but doesn't have artistic sense or taste
-is self-centred in believing good old hay day and Alberta is the savior for other parts of Canada
-is coarse in temperament
-likes routine life – working on weekdays, doing grocery on weekends (does shopping cart rage)
-stubborn and narrow-minded rightist
-never admits Calgary is just an inland city
If someone says, "You know what we feed most Canadians. We got oil & gas industry. Calgary is a new city without old things that are eyesores to the Calgarian belief."
Whoever thinks like that must be a Calgarian.

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
