Shannara
A very immature and unknowing human being who has not seemed to hit major realizations of life yet. Someone who still thinks being emotionally distressed or acting terribly cute (never anything else) somehow makes them a worthwhile person.
Always fishing for compliments or comfort in people who really just don't care.

I took to research mode and I stumbled upon a blog post by Chie Nakamura, the voice actress for Sakura. She actually directly addresses the meaning of shannarou. she asked the director for the meaning and he said to think of it just like konnyarou. some of you may know that this is a contraction of kono yarou, which means 'you bastard' or whatever.
I had come across another fan theory somewhere on google groups (by native japanese fans) that shannarou was a further contraction of yossha (right!) and konnyarou. that makes a lot of sense to me.

Shannaro
This is a Japanese slang that does not get used in everyday language but is instead (very rarely) found in manga/anime. It is a corruption of joudan ja nai yo (冗談じゃないよ) which is a colloquial term literally meaning "this is not a joke" and can be loosely interpreted as: "stop kidding around", "don't fool yourself", "stop messing around", "you got to be kidding me", "yeah, right".
A character by the name of Sakura Haruno (春野 サクラ) in Naruto uses this a lot and many people attribute the usage of this term to the manga series. Since the word is corrupted (noted with personal accentuation), so has the meaning within certain contexts in Naruto, which defines or embodies an emotion or expression of an adrenaline rush or great excitement: "hell yeah" and "f~ yeah" is a common fansub translation.
It is commonly mistranslated as "what the f~" or "hell no" because the term was never used in that manner (given the context of a situation) and was never used as a pejorative (a handful of fansubs have taken this term to the extreme)

Striver
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.
