dramaganda 

Share definition Flag
Shows like Law & Order, NCIS, CSI, Burn Notice, etc. in which the plots are tightly based on current events, particularly those which fuel the paranoia that keeps fear alive. Dramaganda is the dominant genre of modern entertainment.
Some dialogue from a dramaganda show might go like this:
Gibbs: "We better find those terrorists before they recruit any more cub scouts."
Abby: "
I can find them if you get me more sub-atomic particles from the bottoms of their sandals."
McGee: "I'll go undercover to the cub scout meeting at the new muslim cultural center in the Capital Building."

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
