Priusing 

Any driver who becomes oblivious to others (in all senses), and oblivious to other externalities such as speed limits, lane drifting, oncoming traffic, pedestrians, bicyclists, traffic signals, parallel parking, parking within the lines in a parking lot, backing up, and most often four-way intersection. 
Priusing is often the result of a misguided sense of what is right and good for the world.
The driver brought to the point of Priusing has typically led a life of floundering hope and preaching convenient yet incomplete concepts of ancient teachings. They can often be seen basking in their own self glory, to busy to realized their impact on others.  
A driver that is in the act of Priusing would never realize they were hindering the mobility needs of other drivers.  For example, a person Priusing would drive noticeably slower in the fast lane on the freeways. If confronted with that fact, they would curiously deny that act and say something like, whats the hurry anyway? Priusing is further illustrated by an astonishing lack of understanding of how labor intensive the very progress that the Priusing driver condemns, yet enjoys. These driver are most often found driving a Prius and are routinely poorly dressed.
Why are we going so slow?

The guy up ahead is totally Priusing.

Why did two cars go throught the four-way intersection?

That driver was Priusing.

Prisingenuity 

A knack for McGyver-like improvisation of tools using the scarce resources available in a prison environment.
"Wow, that's cool how you figured out how to make disposable one-hitters out of ferrules, so we can flush them after each session and not have to keep anything around that could be found if they shake us down."
"Once again, my prisingenuity saves the day."

Prousing 

Being a total liability when drunk
I was totally Prousing last night and ended up jumping in the ocean, stepping on a sea urchin and stinking up a hotel room with vinegar.

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
