el matador defense 

Share definition Flag
A lackluster, low-effort form of defense in which the defender simply reaches for the ball and then quickly pulls his hand away -- similar to how a matador pulls his cape out of the way of a charging bull -- as the offensive player drives by him for an easy shot at the hoop.
Kobe keeps running on the paint! I wish Lebron James stop playing el matador defense on Kobe.

El Matadore 

Share definition Flag
El Matadore is a spoof, Yorkshire based grime/hip hop artist. His videos are for comedy purposes, and some of the claims he makes whilst talking to the camera back this up.

He is most well known for his Devvo diss that made it onto the Doncaster Chav's website, fat - pie. This prepelled him into the spot light, with a large share of people taking his side in the "beef".

Its subtle humour, but its hilarious! If you are into observational comedies such as The Office, Lead Balloon, and even Alan Partridge, this is for you!
El Matadore - "Being brought up where I'm brought up, (Sheffield), is like a game of dice.... roll for a 1, live life on the street, roll for a 6, (points to himself)... and lifes a bloody treat...."

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
