Worcesterize 

Share definition Flag
To take an opportunity ripe with business and economic-development potential and, by engaging in negative, destructive behavior, smoking it completely and absolutely.
Worcester, Massachusetts, with a population of 175,000 and a business/economic-development infrastructure platform capable of supporting more than twice that many people, refuses to market its significant, valuable assets to the rest of the world for economic-development purposes. As a result, Worcester's business-property tax base, which was 35% of its total tax base 20 years ago, is now only 20%.

The wretched condition to which all residents of Worcester, MA eventually succumb. Symptoms include jibberish and non-sense speech patterns, an increasingly aluminum foil-centered wardrobe, and frequent trips to watch the Sharks. Note: Time to Worcesterization is different for all new residents, and is negatively correlated with the number of his/her Worcesterized friends/co-workers.
It took LJ about 6 years to become Worcesterized after moving to Worcester, MA. Now he wears his socks on his hands and uses them to talk to himself and his co-workers. Matt works with LJ and just moved to Worcester. He will be Worcesterized in no-time.

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
