Gamer Girl Syndrome

When a girl acts as though she is God's gift to mankind, simply because she plays games.

When she realizes that nerds and geeks will flock to her and shower her with attention for being a rarity - she does everything she can to ensure she continues to get said attention.

Buying geeky accessories, joining groups like the D20 Girls, posting suggestive + geeky pictures to the Internet, fawning over Magic cards, incessantly talking about D&D, and basically wrapping herself and her identity up completely in being a nerdy/geeky/gamer - solely because it gets her the attention she couldn't get from ANYONE ELSE.

Also known, in other subcultures, as a faker, wannabe, or poser.

John: Dude, did you see the skanky picture Tracy posted of her d20 tramp stamp?
Smith: Yeah, I saw her. I bet she doesn't even know what THAC0 is. She's got a bad case of Gamer Girl Syndrome.

Striver

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

SkyPesos

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.

- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.
