Share definition Flag
A person who visits the "urban Dictionary" website with the intention of reading peoples entries, and then giving them a thumbs down. Often these people have had traumatic events in their lives that have caused them to be so full of hate and anger that the only way they can express their hate on the world is to give people "thumbs down" on a website meant for peoples amusement and pleasure.
Jonnie: Hey man, I'm feeling angry because my Momma made me eat cold beans when I was little, and I need a way to let the world know I'm suffering and angry, what should I do?
Stevie: Why don't you go on the urban dictionary website and become a "Thumb Downer"? Just read something that someone has wrote for your amusement, then give it a thumbs down. I do it all the time!
Jonnie: Thats great advice, Thanks Stevie, People like you make the world a great place to be!

Thumbdowner 

Share definition Flag
Pathetic life form that systematically goes through Urban Dictionary´s "Word of the Day" list giving a thumbs down to every single definition without reading any of them. Out of spite and utter lack of creativity, finds more exciting to downgrade the work of others than to come up with even a run of the mill (conventional, mediocre, prevalent, regular, trite) idea.
Get a life Thumbdowner, life is short and then we die.

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
