Extinct

Share definition Flag
When a species(Dodo Bird) or entity(Rangers FC) ceases to exist, dies, is bereft of life, kicks the bucket, comes to an end.

An entity can become extinct due to an over-reliance on cheating to succeed and when that ability is taken away, it dies out, making the world a better place. Extinction is a natural and necessary occurrence that occurs to restore order and decency in the world.
Rangers FC became an extinct football club in 2012 due to an over reliance on cheating to succeed. Once the ability to cheat was taken away by HMRC the entity ceased to exist. A brand new club tried to take its place by cheating but it is expected to die fairly soon too.

The Dodo Bird is an extinct species.

Rangers FC and the Dodo bird are both extinct, have passed on, have ceased to exist, are bereft of life. The new club that is trying to take Rangers place has the same amount of trophies as the Dodo bird. The new club hope that someday they will be able to cheat their way to their first trophy and thus over take the Dodo bird in the honours list.

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
