Stupid Flash Bang 

Share definition Flag
A Flash-Bang is a device used by law enforcement or military personnel to stun people without causing serious injury. Not unlike a firecracker there is no metal or shrapnel that disperses upon explosion. There is simply a loud bang and a large flash of light which disorients any persons within a certain radius. This allows the person(s) utilizing the flash-bang to enter, escape, or take control a situation.

A "STUPID FLASH BANG" is a technique used by person(s) who are being investigated or questioned. Said person(s) repeatedly answer any questions asked of them with nonsensical or meaningless answers. Or in some cases the same answers continuously. The goal being to ultimately cause the accuser or investigator to give up the questioning. And therefore end the investigation, allowing the accused to escape while the investigator tries to fathom how someone could be so stupid or, tries to make sense of the answers which cannot be made sense of at any point.

Q: Did someone call you in here, or tell you to come in here? A: No. Q: Are you aware that no one is allowed in here? A: Yes. Q: Then once again I ask, why are you in here? A: I don't know.

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
