Amplitheater 

Share definition Flag
A theater designed to host amplified sound-based performances, including live music, comedy, lectures, and other speech-centric presentations.

The term is a portmanteau of 'amplified' and 'amphitheater'.

What an amplitheater is not:
• A traditional/classical concert hall (where a symphony orchestra would play) is not an amplitheater. These buildings are made to naturally enhance and project the sound of unamplified acoustic performances, and often have little to no amplification equipment.
• Almost all movie houses today have the infrastructure to host sound-based entertainment too, so they could be considered amplitheaters. However, a true amplitheater is purpose-built to support the best listening experience, with optimized room acoustics and a comprehensive sound reinforcement (PA) system.
My favorite rock band is playing at the amplitheater tonight!

ampatheater 

Share definition Flag
Correctly spelled "amphitheatre," it's an open-air venue for spectator sports, concerts, rallies, or theatrical performances.
Red Rocks, in Colorado, is a good example of an ampatheater. Carved out of the side of a mountain, this open-air concert venue has been home to many a show by great rock groups.

Russian Amphitheatre 

Share definition Flag
A sexual act created by the homeland, otherwise known as mother Russia.
To begin the Russian Amphitheatre, the male puts his Russian cock into the females vagina.

While he does this, he then begins to rhythmically slap the females bottom to a Russian song, and proceeds to sing.

When the song gets louder, so shall the singing and slapping. No mercy shall be given to the female, just as Stalin showed no mercy to his people.
When I heard that there was going to be a performance at the Russian amphitheatre, I went to go see. What I did not expect to see performed at the Theatre was a Russian Amphitheatre.

I should have read the playbill.

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

Utility beer 

Share definition Flag
Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
