(n) a disease caught by those who attend Gunn High School, Palo Alto, and some surrounding schools. Symptoms generally start to appear junior year, though they may be present as early as sixth grade in some cases. Short-term effects include mad AP classes as well as extracurriculars, caffeine addiction, intense sleep-deprivation, a triple-booked schedule, no time for family and/or friends, and chronic talking online at 5AM while doing homework.

Long-term effects include acceptance to Stanford(in severe cases), heart disease, and a "BRING IT ON" mentality regarding life that will haunt you to your grave.
I was studying AP Biology while on a volunteer worksite in Canada over spring break and talking in French to my professor online, when I realized what a totally *Gunnitis* moment it was.

Gunningsoul 

A wannabe ninja. Ninjas are uber cool, and Gunningsoul is just "cool", being an "uber" away from uber-coolness.

He likes the film Shaun of the Dead though, which is lovely.
Gunningsoul doesn't know the art of the ninja.

Bro, I just saw that Superman 2025 teaser… I think I caught full-blown GUNNITIS."

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.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
