Bed-Stuy 

Share definition Flag
A 'hood in the BK. That is, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.

Short for Bedford-Stuyvesant. Only reporters call it that, especially when reporting news on gentrification or terrible murders.

Biggie Smalls, the Notorious B.I.G. was from Bed-Stuy.

It's pretty rough up there so it used to have the slogan:

BED-STUY DO-OR-DIE
A: Where do you live?
B: Bed-Stuy.
A: Oh. (slight terror)

Part of central Brooklyn that is made up of four neighborhoods: Bedford, Stuyvesant Heights, Ocean Hill and Weeksville.
There used to be a lot of riots and crime in Bed-Stuy a few decades ago, but it's better nowadays.

The largely black middle class part of brooklyn that makes the least amount of sense.

Filled with teenage sons and daughters of city workers who have no education and no aim.

Filled with mostly negative thinkers who won't go anywhere in life, the rest are people who haven't gone anywhere in life and have resorted to negative thinking.

Do-or-die part of ny

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
