A Retard Unit is a form of expressing measurements the wrong way. Usually Europeans talk about the imperial system as a retard unit, but Asian units shouldn't be used either. Probably originating from 9gag or Reddit as retard units have, and is, looked down at, because who knows how many centimetre an inch is, and you sure don't want to waste brainpower converting. Comments reaching the top by simply converting foot, yards and pound to units the rest of the world understands. This started as a joke, now it's an actual importance in society.

As of now, the Americans should've learned their lesson, and stopped using inconsistent units, thus converting them before posting. If you spot a retard unit or simply an american, don't be shy to leave a little comment explaining what they've been doing wrong their entire life and leave a reminder for their next time, by destroy their self-confidence, insuring that they get off the internet, forever. OUT, JUST GET OUT!

BTW don't forget to leave a "Thank You" GIF to all the converters out there, you are the real MVP.

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
