Share definition Flag
Townies and Chavs are often seen hanging round in groups of 2-25. You rarely see a chav or townie alone, he/she will travel in a "gang". Words these people like to use are "Yo, innit, brap, blud, blad, safe, wot, ooo no, ah, ohrite" etc. The typical female wears tracksuits, things enblazened with glitter and "diamonds", giant hoop earrings, white/black trainers taht are usually Nike, Adidas or Reebok. You will sometimes see a female townie hanging round with the other chavs or townies and just generally hanging outside chip shops across the UK. These girls will usually wear their hair completely flat with hair gels, sprays etc. and will have it in a side-ponytail.
The male will wear tracksuits (Adidas, Nike, Reebok, Lacoste), a baseball cap that matches the tracksuit and trainers that match too. Their head can be shaven with a weird pattern on the side. He will also wear lots of "bling" (gold chains, watches, earring etc. but the gold is usually fake)
Both males and females will carry round mobile phones, playing loud chav/townie music (usually some dance music, or hip-hop or R&B). They will sit at the back of the bus annoying people by talking loudly, playing loud music, shouting at people and pratting about.
Chavs/townies come usually in ages 3-30.
A female chav is called a Chavette
A male is called a chav
A child 10 and under is a mini-chav
A baby aged 3 months-1 year is a chavlet.

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
