After the fact 

This is a phrase that you say when someone does or says something but they have no idea that their timing was totally and stupidly wrong. Oftentimes, people will say it with the word "all".

after the fact 

A euphemism for "after intercourse".
"The National Institutes of Health convened a group of experts that year to address the question 'What is the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of latex male condom-use sic to prevent STD transmission during vaginal intercourse?'

Most of the relevant published studies, they found, didn't use the kind of experimental design you'd want to see – i.e., prospective design, in which the researcher compiles data by following the subjects' behavior going forward, rather than gathering data after the fact."

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
