Derived from the reverse spelling of "smarts", strams is a kind of inverse intelligence demonstrated when a person or company cleverly overcomes every obstacle between them and total failure. In order to demonstrate use of strams, the entity in question must be faced with multiple situations where an obvious, correct choice leads to success, while a more obscure, incorrect choice leads to another choice-situation or to failure.
When a delivery company replaces the correct address with an old, old address, then ignores the forwarding information AT that old address AND the email AND the phone number they have on file for you, finally deciding that, because they can't find your address, they better mail you a letter about it - that's strams.

When a barely legal person of the male persuasion tries to pick up chicks using information from the PUA bible "The Game" by Neil Strauss. Tactics include going up to random women on the street and asking them bizarre questions to try to start a conversation. Proponents of Straussing fail to realize that book came out before they hit puberty and is no longer original.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
