Dismissive 

Share definition Flag
When someone doesn't agree with your opinion anymore and just shuts you down and, basically, tells you to go fuck yourself for being an individual. It usually makes you spend the weekend feeling bad about yourself.
Casey didn't want to hear anymore about my thoughts on his favorite football team so he said "On a serious note, I'm out having fun and having a good time, you're really not being cool and pissing me off just leave me alone while they play." and, upon trying to express your opinion of a tv show says "oh, shut UP, I can't deal with this" and then you feel bad inside for having tried to be a part of his life. It was all extraordinarily dismissive.

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
