Lehigh Valley 

Share definition Flag
The third-largest metropolitan in the state of Pennsylvania, as it is known by non-Lehigh Valley residents. It consists of the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton located in Lehigh and Northampton counties. Scrape off the gloss and it is in fact a TIME WARP. It is a place where conservative, WASPY middle-aged residents inhabit as well as younger parents with children go to raise families and clog the roads with their horrendous driving skills. The area has gained attention in recent years, as evidenced by a new casino in Bethlehem and the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley. Yet in spite of these progressive improvements, people here are stuck in the 1950's and firmly resist change. Perhaps thats due to the fact that there are so many old people as well as gun-loving, pickup-driving hicks who think that the Gap is upscale shopping. The speed limits are set far to low as way of accommodating the slow drivers who can't merge to save their lives. Travel guides and tourism agencies boast its "proximity" to Philadelphia and New York City however there is no meaningful connection to either of those places whatsoever. The Lehigh Valley disguises itself as a peaceful middle ground between the more expensive metropolitan areas found to its south and east, when really it is just like any other decaying, Rust Belt place in Pennsylvania. People who choose to live here think that the "Valley" is the best place on earth. Don't buy into it. Move somewhere else.
Mike: "So where are you from?"
Ted: "The Lehigh Valley"
Mike: "Oh. I live in Bucks County which is ten times better and a hell of a lot closer to Philadelphia".
Ted: "Actually, I love where I live. Being surrounded by white, Republican NRA members is a blast!"

Lehigh Valley Lewdacris 

Share definition Flag
Whilst receiving a standing rimjob from a carwash attendant, you begin vigorously gargling previously collected homeless person diarrhea. The act is completed when 5 pieces of corn from said diarrhea gargle fall out of your mouth and land on any part of the rimjob giver's body, causing him to violently projectile vomit straight up your asshole.
I went to get my car washed and ended up falling in love after we did a soulful Lehigh Valley Lewdacris.

lehigh valley academy 

Share definition Flag
Is one of the most ridiculous schools on the planet. Kids are entranced to go there with fanciful promises of a better diploma when the DP Diploma is slightly less transferable than the AP. If you're going to go to community college anyway don't bother going to a place with the same types of rowdy kids but no forms of fashion. LVA is uniform city with a mean-mouthed/underpaid staff to boot. After a year --- no a month, you will want to transfer.
The goal of the incoming classes is to get into lehigh valley academy while the goal of everyone else is to get out.

Once a beautiful area to live, that's rich in history, with places like Bethlehem Steel to its name.

HOWEVER, a place that is being infested with inconsiderate people from new york and new jersey... yuppies and wanna-be yuppies, who think that their crap doesn't stink. Infested with people who critisize and mock the NATIVES of this area.... calling us hicks and saying we live in a time-warp. This is the TRUTH: The natives of the Lehigh Valley have roots in this area that go back generations. If you don't understand or appreciate the people that were here FIRST, just keep your mouth shut. If you can't keep your mouth shut, move back to NY or NJ. Oh, but that's right... you moved here because of cheaper houses, since you couldn't make it back where you came from.

As for the NYers/ NJers that don't mock the beautiful Lehigh Valley... we love you.
the lehigh valley, I love you.

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

- 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.
