Shaun of the Dead 

Share definition Flag
An awesome movie loosely based on "Dawn of the Dead" movie by George A. Romero. Instead of a direect parody, the movie takes a bunch of "normal" people with all their own personal problems and puts them in a middle of a zombie holocaust. Insanely funny, with the perfect mix of horror, comedy and romance without getting cheesy. Interestingly enough, on the DVD commentaries and on the Trivia Subtitles the director credits www.urbandictionary.com by saying what an awesome site this is...
*looking through Shaun's LPs for suitable records to throw at two approaching zombies*
Ed : Purple Rain.
Shaun : No.
Ed : Sign o' the Times.
Shaun : Definitely not.
Ed : The Batman soundtrack?
Shaun : Throw it.

Liek the best spoof ever made, it is about a zombie out break and this dude just sorta doesnt notice it and it just gets really stupid.
Quotes from shaun of the dead

"He's not my Dad, he's my stepdad!"

"Ed: What's the plan then?
Shaun: Right.
Cuts to dream sequence
Shaun: We take Pete's car, we drive over to mum's, we go in, take care of Phillip - "I'm so sorry Phillip". - then we grab mum, we go over to Liz's place, hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over.
Ed: Why have we got to go to Liz's?
Shaun: Because we do.
Ed: But she dumped you!
Shaun: I have to know if she's all right!
Ed: Why?
Shaun: Because I love her!
Ed: All right... gayyy... I'm not staying there, though.
Shaun: Why not?
Ed: If we hole up, I wanna be somewhere familiar, I wanna know where the exits are, and I wanna be allowed to smoke.
Shaun: Okay.
cuts to dream sequence again
Shaun: We take Pete's car, go around mum's, go in, deal with Phillip - "Sorry Phillip!" - grab mum, go to Liz's, pick her up, bring her back here, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over.
Ed: Perfect!
Shaun: No, no, no, no, no, wait, we can't bring her back here.
Ed: Why not?
Shaun: Well, it's not really safe, is it?
Ed: Yeah, look at the state of it.
Shaun: Where's safe? where's familiar?
Ed: Where can I smoke?
Shaun and Ed pause then slowly make a realization
Shaun: cuts to dream sequence a third time Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?
Ed: Yeah, boyyyeee!
Shaun and Ed clang weapons together"

Comedy...retake(ish) on Dawn of the Dead (see what they did with the name!) about the guy from Spaced (good Brit Sit-com) who is a bit dumb and having a shitty time. breaks up with his girl and suddenly zombies take over england (see the 28 days later connection...cool huh!?)

so they go to the pub (with his flat mate, girl 2 friends and mum) and end up beating the pub owner do death with pokers to Queens 'Dont Stop Me Now'

VERY British (you probs wont get it is your American unless youre Brit-ified) and VERY funny.

also have they guy from Black Books
*hits zombie with car... screech to a halt*
Shaun: are you ok?
Zombie: *with broken leg* Uurgg starts to get back up*
Shaun: Oh good!
*drive off*

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
