hourglassing 

A state in which a computer is "thinking" and is currently unresponsive. Not exactly frozen, hourglassing gives a potentially false sense of action on the part of the computer.

Most common on systems running various forms of the Windows operating system. I'm sure Mac/Linux GUI users have their own terms for it.
CSR: You'll have to bear with me a moment, my PC is hourglassing.
ME: Hourglassing, eh? Is that the technical term for it?

hourglassing 

The act of stuffing ones ass with as much sand as possible, squatting down and then letting the sand slowly pour out into another persons' gaping anus. If all the sand has been transferred, switch positions and repeat. Bonus points if you can get some consistency going e.g. switching every 10 minutes.
Alex: Bro, we really gotta start practising our hourglassing, our times are all over the place
Tim: I'm not your bro, fucker. Now hurry up with the sand.

Hour-Glassing 

The term used to define the time you spend staring at a computer screen waiting for your antiquated computer system to load software or web pages that exceed your systems memory and processing capabilities. May also be used to define the blank stare given when someone says or does something incredibly stupid and there is nothing you can do but stare at them.
The first 30 minutes of my day at work is spent hour-glassing.

She walked in wearing what looked like elf shoes and I could not help but Hour-Glass.

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

- 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.
