Short for turbocharger. A method of forced induction that uses exhaust gasses to turn a turbine, which in turn drives an intake pump to force more air into the engine. Available on many vehicles as a factory option or as an aftermarket kit.

Turbo is a setting or level on which things can be put. Putting something on "turbo" implies it is faster, better, crazier, or overall more superlative in whichever context the term is used. Also whatever else you want it to mean; people will understand.

It is similar to the phrase "putting on blast" but applicable in a wider series of contexts.
Aye if we tryna get some tonight we gotta put that shit on turbo with these women!

a method of smoking a joint using a plastic bottle, a hole is burnt into the bottom section of the bottle on the side using a lighter, two more holes may be burnt into the top section of the bottle if the stoner wishes to "shotgun" the turbo. the stoner or another stoner with them sucks on the usual opening of the bottle gently after the roach of a joint is placed into the lowermost hole to make smoke rise slowly into the bottle, this is known as "pulling" the turbo, a slow riser may be pulled where the only wise thing to do is "shotgun" the turbo. a slow riser may be identified by smoke that appears liquid... yes, i'm a stoner :D dedicated to you scholey, from tatters aka brett aka twattersfield

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
