Turgidphobia
(tûr′jĭd-fō′bē-ə)
1. The abnormal, irrational fear of using bombastic words, which compels one to avoid them in communication.
2. The fear of being misunderstood from the usage of bombastic words.
3. An irrational dislike of people who use bombastic words.
This word was created by combining two words 'turgid' and 'phobia', this came by as a result of an observation made of the phenomenon where people know a lot of bombastic words or not so commonly used words in everyday language, but they feel anxious to use the words when communicating for fear of being misunderstood, taken out of context or judged. Instead, they choose to use simple words or the most common words, in order to fit in.

‘Gugu has turgidphobia and therefore prefers to make use of the simplest English words.’
'Spencer had just learned the word pulchritude but was afraid to use it in his class speech and instead he used the word beautiful. He later realized that he had turgidphobia.'

Bird Turding
Slang believed to have originated in the North of England, bird turding means to talk nonsense, or to boast with nothing to back it up. Possibly derived via pigeon fanciers, telling someone that they are bird turding means that they don't have the facts and are basically talking bird shit. Telling someone that they "ain't bird turding" means that they have got it right.
"Winkies who try to aggrandise themselves using Urban Dictionary are just WOSPs."
"You ain't bird turding there, pal."
"You ain't bird turding there, pal."

Striver
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.
