Matt Levine 

Share definition Flag
Matt Levine n,verb.

Matt Levine is more recent idealogy that has permeated through the western world, a product of the desire for a luxury, ultra-expensive, uber-exclusive and uberficial lifestyle that was the ugly side effect of years of excess in the ‘easy money’ pre subprime era.

Although there have been rumours and sightings of the Real ‘Matt Levine’, no one has provided concrete evidence of birth place/date or sightings of the ‘actual person’, and is assumed to be an imaginary nom de guerre given to this pretentious ethos, and the douchebag disciples of this cult who infect all the major cities. The hysterical devotees ritually seek the velvet ropes of clubs/bars that they cannot get into for worship, drink Reyka vodka and Armand de Brignac champagne as communion, and idolize Celebrity.

The imaginary Matt Levine’s doppelganger, is the equally imaginary Tyler Durden (Fight Club) who despises materialism and consumerism. (Matt) Levinery reached its height when He opened a luxury bar, The Eldridge, in New York, for His ‘ friends and family’ to hang out provided they bring their ‘laser-engraved entry cards that say Guest of Matt Levine’

Matt Levine’s regularly use soundbites like “It’s who you are and who you know”, “Everyone I know goes away ( from NYC) on the weekends”, “I'm a Nikki Beach Black Card holder, ….. I can fill you in on what it is like to drink Reyka with Beckham”
Matt Levine does not belong in the LES (Lower East Side)”

“This place has been Levine’d”

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
