Reality Maintaining Words 

Share definition Flag
The set of words which (established and) maintain reality.
"Could we change reality by suppressing, hiding, or extricating the Reality Maintaining Words?", asked Professor Spot Tricks. "How many RMWs are there anyway?" Asked Joe. "How many RMWs do you estimate there are", asked Dick. "How many RMWs do you estimate exist", asked Bernd. The instructor commended Bernd because "exist" is concise, whereas "there are" is prolix, and clarified that listing all the RMWs would exact mountains of time, so it is more likely that only an estimate, not a specific number, could be achieved. Then she asked the students, "And could we change reality by promoting the use of a different set of words?" "Yes", said most students. "What would you call those words?" "Reality Correcting Words", said Sally.

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
