Code Monkeys 

Share definition Flag
A show on G4TV Network that follows the lives of 1980's game programmers Dave and his best friend Jerry. They work for a company called Gameavision, a name play on the classic game company Activision, and are constantly causing problems (and in the 3rd episode leaving, only to return after their failed company, Stonervision, goes baknrupt) at the company. The show is animated in an 8-bit art style, and much of the show's humor is based off of video games.
Code Monkeys Episode 2, E.T

Dave: One more question, why is my penis green?
Jerry: Well I can explain that too, because around 2 a.m., high out of your mind Dave, you painted it so it would look like, and I quote, "A sexual serpant capable of spitting its venom everywhere."
Dave: Damn it, I knew I was a genius.

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
