Clamsplaining 

Share definition Flag
1. The explanation of something by a woman, typically to a man, in a manner regarded as condescending or patronizing, e.g., Womansplaining.

2. When a woman uses bigoted, illogical rhetoric, or ask questions that she doesn't really want an answer to, to "shut a man down." Usually used so the woman can feel superior to the male she is speaking with.

3. When a woman interprets what a man says, not by the words he is saying, but by what her mind "knows" he is thinking behind the words that he is saying; because she "knows" what his thoughts, motivations, and intentions "really"mean and not what he intended by the words he used to begin with, womansplain. With this ready knowledge of what he "really" means and disregarding what he said, she will then craft what she believes to be an appropriate response.
"I was trying to answer her question when suddenly she started clamsplaining how my answer isn't valid because I'm a man."

Man 1: "My girlfriend didn't speak to me for three days."
Man 2: "No way! What happened?"
Man 1: "I asked her if she wanted me to go to the gym with Marc and I."
Man 2: "What? That's no reason to give anyone the silent treatment."
Man 1: "When I finally convinced her to speak to me, she said that I called her "fat" in front of Marc."

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
