Mediochrist 

Share definition Flag
Someone who was/is born on Christmas day or within five days of Christmas. Relatives and friends have to decide whether to get them Christmas OR Birthday presents, but quite often end up getting neither. The word is a contraction from mediocre Christ, since the mediochrist is usually submerged and forgotten about by the Christmas hype.
Three days till Christmas and ive done all my shopping!

Dude, its Zanzibar's birthday tommorow.

Oh who cares about that mediochrist, lets just say we got caught up in the Christmas hype.

Chronic Mediocrity Syndrome 

Share definition Flag
A sad and mildly debilitating condition in which the sufferer will never be exceptional in a chosen discipline or field of study, no matter how hard they work. While incurable, it can often be treated/maintained with a reality check.
I'm sorry Mrs. Smith. You might as well stop your son's violin lessons. He will never be a virtuoso. He has chronic mediocrity syndrome.

The most insiduous influence on the young is not violence, drugs, tobacco, drink or sexual perversion, but our pursuit of the trivial and our tolerance of the third rate.

train of mediocrity 

Share definition Flag
The people in the back of the pack during a multiplayer Mario Kart race. The 3rd place player is usually considered the "conductor", and everyone behind him is part of the train. The reason for the label "mediocrity" is that farther back player always get much better items that allow them to "cheaply" make up ground. A common scenario is that 1st and 2nd will be skillfully sparring for first place,and blue shell comes from the back of the pack and destroys the leaders. While they are the down the "conducter" and his "train" will pass the more skilled players while making whistling sounds.
(often spoken in a sarcastic tone)
So Dave, you conducting the train of mediocrity today?

Mediocrite

A cooler more dismissive way of saying mediocre, which rhymes with meteorite.

It is also a variation of inferiorite.
Tom: IT folks saved some dough by installing laptop memory not made in the USA. We had nothing but crashes and trouble as a result.
Kenny: Yeah, management oughta fire them. They're nothing but a bunch of mediocrites.

Lisa: Those reports are bugging me. Every time I finish one, my boss asks me for two more. It's been driving me insane all week long.
Mary: Have you been using a reporting tool?
Lisa: Spreadsheets... nothing more! Management isn't willing to shell out any money for a reporting package.
Mary: How about you purchase one with money from your own salary? It would save you quite some time and trouble at work after all.
Lisa: I thought about it. I could barely keep up with my rent and kids. You want me to pay for professional reporting software with my own money too? Forget about it.
Mary: That's what you get for working for a bunch of mediocrites. It's time to step up and quit to join a better company that actually deserves 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
