baysplaining 

Share definition Flag
A Baysplainer can be characterized as someone who didn’t grow up in the Bay Area (probably not even California), most likely works in tech, eats at “hole in the wall” restaurants (I.e. restaurants that used to actually be a hole in the wall, but was taken over by a new Asian/fusion spot), considers themselves a “foodie”, most likely lives in the City or Oakland, goes to Outside Lands, wears their work badge to the bars, and so on.

A Baysplainer tends try to explain to a local “the best parts of the Bay”, the local community, etc., and doesn’t realize the impact they may have had on the local community by moving here and thus, affecting the job market, housing market, influencing the quick rise of gentrification, etc.
I was talking to someone who works in tech and they started Baysplaining about what the Bay Area is like.

The "mansplaining" of the weed industry. When a cannabis user uninvitedly tries to educate another user about something they are already familiar with. Usually comes with the assumption that they know more about the topic, and is frequently targeted toward female smokers by men with fragile egos.
A customer walks into the dispensary, and approaches a female budtender with years of education and experience. He attempts budsplaining how thc percentages work to her and proceeds to complain about everything on the shelf, brags about how he was "smoking before she was alive," then finally walks out with the shittiest strain because it was cheapest.

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
