Ponce de Le-bóned 

When you receive bogus directions from a person that claims to know shortcuts or doesn’t understand basic geography.

Derived from Ponce de León from the famous Spanish Explorer.
Example 1:
Why weren’t you at the party last night?

I received some bogus directions and ended up on what looked like the set of “Deliverance”

Dude, you got Ponce de Le-bóned big time

Example 2:
Hey guys is that the Atlantic Ocean?

Ummm no I can see our hotel and I’m pretty sure we aren’t staying in Portugal. I’m also pretty sure the bridge we took an hour ago that took 3 minutes to cross isn’t trans-Atlantic.

Never get take directions from that guy. If you do you’re asking to be Ponce de Le-bóned

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.
