Tai Mei 

Share definition Flag
The term Tai Mei refers to a flamboyant Taiwanese female that often frequents nightclubs, bars, karaoke bars and lounges.

Music : The Tai Mei species is prone to social media pressures that define their musical tastes. Top 40 songs that play repeatedly on commercial radio and lovey dovey Chinese music that has no variation and sounds pretty much all the same are guaranteed to be the only tunes found on a Tai Mei’s ipod (which is most likely covered in some sort of visually offensive glitter) or CD collection.

Visual (appearance) : The Tai Mei hoochie mama maintains at all costs (including health, meals, friendships, and monetary responsibility) a skinny, anorexic-looking, slender body that can only be compared to a third world famine victim. Accessories to this skeletal figure include loud mixed colors and dangly jewelry that could only have been put together by a blind man.

Speech : Tai Mei speech is of their native tongue, Mandarin Chinese, although a slightly different “street hoochie” dialect has emerged with the rise of Tai Mei culture. The basic language structure is the same, only with elevated volume and pitch levels that increase with alcohol intake, and added vulgarities. As for the Tai Mei attempt at speaking English, many do not speak the limited English they know willingly, as they often hate American culture and language, which brings about the question why they reside in the States in the first place.

This song/video is a song (awkward) dance of well-known traffic star Cai Xukun in the male group talent show "Idol Trainee" in the early years.

In January 2019, Cai XuKun was appointed as an ambassador for the NBA Chinese New Year celebration, and many netizens took a mocking attitude towards the matter, and this video of his talent performance in "Idol Practice" was dug up. In the video, his basic ball skills, brilliant (unbelievable) movements and vivid (ghostly) expressions are impressive.

In the song and dance that followed the basketball performance, the first line of the song "just because you are too beautiful" was pronounced as "chicken you are too beautiful" due to the southern accent and fast speech speed 2. Combined with the basketball street dance in the opening scene, the empty ears of this line add a lot of comedy to the video.

The video was a hit on the Internet, and a large number of netizens spoofed Cai XuKun with ghost animals and expression packs. Many things related to "chicken" were also criticized, for example, the character Tadokyu Wabiki, who made his debut in the new Oriental novel "Oriental Ghosts", which will be released in mid-2019, was not spared.

In addition to the basketball clip of Cai XuKun being ghosted, an interview of Cai XuKun in "Idol Trainee" (what are you doing ~ haha ~ ouch ~)3 also left a deep impression on the audience.

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
