Petuloso

Share definition Flag
Un aggettivo che nasce dall'unione delle parole "petulante" e "affettuoso". Si riferisce a una persona o un animale che è estremamente insistente e quasi fastidioso nel cercare attenzioni o nel chiedere qualcosa, ma lo fa con una tale dolcezza e affetto che è impossibile arrabbiarsi.
"Il mio cane è proprio petuloso: continua a spingermi la mano con il muso mentre cerco di lavorare, ma mi guarda con quegli occhi dolci che finisco sempre per coccolarlo."

Similar to the Chinese term Baizuo, petaloso is an Italian word meaning somebody obsessed by multiculturalism, immigrant rights, LGBTTQQIAAP, gender or political correctness, while ignoring mundane issues like unemployement, rule of law, poverty, social exclusion and so on. It can be mistaken for a caricature of far left, but sadly it is not. Such individuals are so concerned with virtue signaling and acting "right", to stop caring about important issues and coming out as extreme narcissists. Self hatred towards their race and culture is also common. A Petaloso is like a flower, so full of beautiful petals as empty and hollow inside.

A Petaloso can turn even the most moderate person into another Anders Breivik.
Petaloso: "Let them in! Refugees welcome! They deserve it after everything we did to their culture and their land!"

Sane human being: (Starts citing stats about immigrants crime, also about Mafia involvement in the refugees racket)

Petaloso: "Nazi! Fascist! Evil scumlord! TRIGGGERERRRRRREDDDDDDDDDDDD!"

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
