domenech effect 

Share definition Flag
The situation where a group or organisation succeeds despite, rather than because of management. A group of experienced and motivated employees overcome the handicap of having an incompetent boob running the show. The employees get together and work out how to sort shit out without, or sometimes against, directions from said incompetent management. Named after the hapless manager of the French national team at the world cup in 2006.

a ship made by the harry potter fandom.

it consists of marlene mckinnon and dorcas meadows— who are only mentioned 1-3 times in the story.

dorlene is a ship for the time era of harry potters parents’ time in hogwarts—1970 to 1977.

this is the type of ship that wasn’t mentioned in the books or movies.

people have different opinions on ships and sometimes people could be judging and aggressive just because you think we don’t know enough about marlene (she was mentioned twice in the books in a sentence included other people) or think sirius never found anybody and not dorlene or wolfstar.
the majority of the hp fandom: “i love the ship dorlene—i think they would go great together”

a small amount of the hp fandom— with a different opinion: “i dont know. i think sirius might’ve been aero romantic and marlene and sirius were exes and never got a chance to find someone the liked. but whatever.”

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
