Moonstream Media 

Share definition Flag
Derisive term for the left-leaning media; a conflation of moonbat and mainstream media.
During this election cycle, the moonstream media has dropped all pretenses of objective reporting and is losing readership/viewership accordingly.

Since, to them, the prism through which they look is "the way things are", anyone with an alternative viewpoint is summarily labeled and then rejected out of hand.

It's ironic that a group of people with such elitist condescension often lack the common sense that it takes to come in out of the rain.

The most widely consumed media networks and publications in the West. Often they're either neoliberal or conservative and their views follow moneyed interests. The mainstream media is where most low-information voters get their politics from.

Definitely not abbreviated "MSM" (more commonly understood as "Men who have sex with men")
The Mainstream Media is so out-of-touch with the working class!

Daniel has a problem in that whatever is so obviously staring him in the face but the mainstream media says otherwise he'd rather trust lies perpetuated by the MSM than his own experience. He's most definitely suffering from M.S.M.H. (Mainstream Media Hysterics). It's really quite sad.

A term used by people who get all of their "news" and "information" from youtube, to describe any source offering facts that don't comport with the nonsense they've been consuming. More hardcore idiots will use the acronym MSM because they reference the mainstream media so much.
I went to buy some light bulbs and the cashier started telling me about how the mainstream media is covering up UFOs. When I told him I didn't have time to talk, he told me I had been "blue pilled."

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

Utility beer 

Share definition Flag
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.
