nigger pool 

Before states had lotteries and daily number games, mobsters and bookies would sell tickets for an illicit daily numbers game called the nigger pool.The tickets were primarily sold through an underground network,made up of bartenders, delivery drivers and blue collar workers in office buildings,in large cities.Players would find out if they won by checking the last four numbers of the U.S.Treasury number (which is random and not fixable) in the newspaper the following day.Even though it was played by people of all races and social status, its popularity among blacks gave it the monicker the "nigger pool".After the state lotteries came out many players still preferred the nigger pool because it paid better odds and the winnings were tax free.But with state lotteries offering more instant games(scratch tickets and Keno) the nigger pool lost its popularity and has been put out of business.

Man...I was crushing it at the party when this pooldigger rolls up to me and tries to get the passcode to my apt complex. You know I don't give that sh*t out for free!

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
