Jankist

Share definition Flag
A Jankist is someone who needs things to make sense in a logical way that lines up almost perfectly with the way they think. It is someone who needs everything to have a purpose that they agree with. To them, there must always be a plan for every little thing in life. If something were to cause a change that they were not prepared for, they will shun it. Anything that deviates from the norm will generally be viewed with skepticism, cynicism, and if it would force them to change, outright hated. Creativity, experimentation, and fun, if not done by the jankist themselves, is viewed as childish garbage to the jankist. A Jankist will generally seek out the satisfaction of winning, at the end of the game, at the expense of having fun during the game. They will even go so far as to ruin the fun of the game for other players if things do not go the way they planned or wanted. Instead of attacking enemy players, a jankist can often be seen attacking or berating teammates.
"A healer is a healer and should not be permitted to be able to perform the role of a dps," said the jankist. "That's just not what healers were originally designed for. Stay the course."

META players who treat the meta in games like the bible are jankists.

Someone who thinks horses are meant for riding and for no other reason is a jankist.

B'jankity 

Share definition Flag
A word used to convey a state of something being completely weird and stupid. It can be used in the place of fubar, lame , F*cked up and/or retarded. For example, instead of saying "My brother is being a dumb lame jerk" you would say "My brother is being b'jankty". Because it is such a rare and wonderful word, it is highly important to spell it correctly (b'jankity) and to pronounce it correctly (buh-JANE-kuh-tee).

The word originated around the Avon, IN area and has built and grown upon its own success in recent years.
"Holycrap, that test was freaking b'jankity!"

"Dude, that was a lame-ass b'jankty excuse for not coming with us and hanging out yesterday."

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
