Scorsese Bomb 

Share definition Flag
A drink will knock you on your ass just like any movie by Martin Scorsese:

- 1 part red bull, for the movie Raging Bull of course
- 1 part cranberry juice, because Leo ordered that shit in the Departed and was a bonafide badass throughout
- 1 part tequila, because it'll get ya fighting with the cat sitting next to you, just like in Scorsese's movies

And boom you got yourself a Scorsese bomb, now say hi to your mother for me
"Ay barkeep gimme one of dem Scorsese bombs"

"Damn bro I didn't take you as the fighting type"

"Maybe I am, maybe I ain't, maybe go fuck yourself"

Martin Scorsese

Share definition Flag
One of the greatest filmmakers of all time, if not the best. His films are psychological dramas that focus the complexity of the character over plot and he's notorious for his sometimes, very brutal scenes of violence. He has been nominated for an Academy Award several times, but has not won one. His highlights include Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Casino etc.
Goodfellas and Raging Bull will always be my favorites. Scorsese is a God to cinema.

A true master of the ART form. A director who directs films to the highest ability and gets the best performances out of his actors while touching subjects such as sin and redemption and always creating unforgettable masterpieces. One of the best directors to grace our earth.

I think Martin Scorsese's best film is Raging Bull

No way it's Taxi Driver

Goodfellas, man!

The Scorsese Effect 

Share definition Flag
Named after filmmaker Martin Scorsese, the "Scorsese Effect" is when a work of art is created to negatively portray a character or group of people, but unintentionally inspires fans to try and imitate them. Usually these people misunderstand the point of the film and think the message was to try and be like the protagonist. Many of Scorsese's movies are centered around characters like these, such as "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Taxi Driver," and "Goodfellas".

Other examples include "Fight Club," "Breaking Bad," "The Sopranos," and the Joker.
Guy 1: Doesn't Mark understand the point of Fight Club was to show what can happen when men try to compartmentalize their anger and aggression into physical violence?

Guy 2: Yeah, it's the Scorsese Effect at work.

Mark: We live in a society.

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

1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

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.
