tent pole 

An erection inside one's pants; a woody that is visible because it bulges one's clothing.
I woke up hearing someone knock on the door. Forgetting about the morning wood phenomenon, I went to answer it and after about ten seconds realized that she was totally staring at the tent pole bulging in my boxers.

Tent-Pole Wounds 

The name given to a hickey or a lovebite when your parents ask what the contusion is. Often tentpole wounds are obtained after a party/festival. The name originates from the similair hermatoma of tissue when a chord tent pole collides with the skin with that of a lovebite.

The term tent-pole refers to a broadcast programming or motion picture expected to hold up (as is the function of a tent pole) and balance out the financial performance of a movie studio or television network.
Father: Damn Bobby! What are those hematoma's of tissue on your neck? You been gettin' pussy?
Bobby: Do not fear father, they are but Tent-Pole Wounds, caused from the riotous handling of the tent we set up.
Father: All good.

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
