The Big Lebrowski 

Share definition Flag
That funny, kinda dumb, somewhat overweight and going-nowhere guy in your group of friends. He often thinks he is the coolest guy in the world, does crazy stuff and never fails to make you laugh. Great for entertaining females at a bar, while not posing much of a sexual threat, you know, unless they're into that sort of thing.

Note: The Big Lebrowski is not required to bowl.
Bro 1: Why do we still hang around with Jesse? He's a huge pot head with no aspirations in life, who sits around all day and watches Family Guy and plays video games.

Bro 2: Yeah dude, but he's funny, and we always meet a ton of girls when he's around.

Bro 1: True. Jesse sure is the Big Lebrowski.

Ever feel down? Put this movie in your DVD player and you can't help but feel the good vibe of The Dude and his simplistic look at life. How life should be. Very funny from beginning to end. Walter Sobchak and Donnie are great as well. Especially when Walter and the Dude say goodbye to Donnie, it just makes me crack up every time. A must see, man..ya know?
The Big Lebowski, man, ya know?

The Dude: Walter, ya know, it's Smokey, so his toe slipped over the line a little, big deal. It's just a game, man.
Walter Sobchak: Dude, this is a league game, this determines who enters the next round robin. Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
Smokey: Yeah, but I wasn't over. Gimme the marker Dude, I'm marking it 8.
Walter Sobchak: pulls out a gun Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
The Dude: Walter...
Walter Sobchak: You mark that frame an 8, and you're entering a world of pain.
Smokey: I'm not...
Walter Sobchak: A world of pain.
Smokey: Dude, he's your partner...
Walter Sobchak: shouting Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules? Mark it zero!
The Dude: They're calling the cops, put the piece away.
Walter Sobchak: Mark it zero!
points gun in Smokey's face
Smokey: Walter...
Walter Sobchak: shouting You think I'm fucking around here? Mark it zero!
Smokey: All right, it's fucking zero. Are you happy, you crazy fuck?
Walter Sobchak: ...It's a league game, Smokey.

The Big Lebowski

The greatest movie in history, made by the brilliant Coen Brothers. Anyone who has not seen this movie is utterly worthless. Anyone who has seen it and disliked it should be ripped off the face of the Earth. In the film, Jeff Bridges plays Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski, whose rug is peed on. Somehow, this gets him involved in a hostage situation, and an overly complex world of corruption and lies. Hilarity ensues.
All The Dude ever wanted... was his rug back.

One of the best films ever made, although its glamorising of being unemployed and smoking too much weed is rather a bad influence on young, impresionable teenagers. But yeh its very funny.
Walter: (laughs' These fucken amateurs!

1. A crusader on the quest to get his rug back.

2. Also, one of my favorite movies, and that from a guy who doesn't like comedies. But this is not about a few teenagers with a hardon, or Jim Carry thinking he is God...and such. After you have seen it even a couple of times (yes I admit it!) you still have to laugh at some of the scenes. The part when his investigation leads The Dude to the mansion of Jacky Treehorn, featuring the "Gutterballs" dream sequence, talking to the chief of the police station in Malibu ("sorry I wasn't listening"), and ending by being kicked out of the cab by the driver because he hates "the fucking Eagles man" is absolutely hilarious.
Dude (a.k.a. the Big Lebowski): You know, this is a very complicated case, Maude. Lotta ins, lotta outs. You know, fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, drug regiment to keep my mind, ... limber.

An awesome comedy by the famed Coen Brothers.
Plot: We follow The Dude (Jeff Bridges) and his friend Walter (John Goodman) on their mission to resque the kidnapped wife of the wealthy, disabled Mr. Lebowski.
In his struggle The Dude encounters Carpterpisser, Nihilists, Vaginal artists and a variety of other weird and exotic characters.

A must-see for all movie fans.

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
