Filthy Cosmonaut 

Share definition Flag
Originating from a filthy astronaut, this move begins in the doggy style position. Just before "blast-off" tightly secure a plastic bag over your partner's head as you move to face to face with her. Next, strike her about the head hard enough that she begins to see stars--we call this move the "Hammer & Sickle." Then firmly pie-face her back onto the bed so she is lying on her back. Now release your Siberian Splooge across her eyes and she will see nothing but the Milky Way. Then immediately take a celebratory shot of chilled Stoli Vodka, and without swallowing, spit it in your partners face for a Cold War ending.

Lisa: USA! USA!

Striver

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
