Masconomet 

A school where the boys wear basketball shorts and sneakers all year long, all have justin bieber haircuts, and braces. The girls all straighten their hair every day, wear LOADS of eyeliner, and their wardrobe consists of one store: Pink by Victorias Secret (especially at the middle school.) They are extremely annoying and stuck up, and by the time they get to senior year, their hair is burnt to a crisp and they look like barbie dolls someone forgot to take care of. Surrounding schools HATE masconomet, yet masco-lites seems COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS to that fact, Boxford is the wealthiest, then Topsfield, then Middleton is the "ghetto" of the tri-town. Speaking of ghetto, everyone there wishes they were black and try to act and dress as ghetto as possible for an upper middle class white kid. The boys get ear piercings, were their pants low, and accessorize with chains/flat hats. The girls buy Osiris shoes and talk like they're from the Bronx. YOLO and SWAG seem to be the mottos at this school. Masco Kids are extremely annoying and are virtually impossible to hang out with.
Masco Kid 1- "YOLO MY BABES! we be getting cray tonight we gon' be dancing and shiz and it gon' be cray!"

Not a Masco Kid 2- "You're twelve, and you are some rich kid from Boxford. And you're going to a school dance. With chaperones."

Masco Kid 1- "WHATEVS mai home boy we be partaying so i don't need you a got mai $WAG! Double G! $WAGG! das right! learn it and live by it!"

Not a Masco Kid 2- "You are definitely a masconomet kid."

EXAMPLE 2----

Kid 1- "Yo, did you go to that party last night?"

Kid 2- "Ya, it was CRAZY."

Kid 1- " Did you see that girl with the heavy eyeliner and the fried hair?"

Kid 2- "How could I miss her? She looked like a burnt barbie, haha."

Kid 1- " I bet she was a Masconomet Kid."

Kid 2- "Definitely."

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

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.
