gatter

Share definition Flag
A historic weapon that was mounted upon ships in the mid 18th century. Used commonly by pirates and even the British Navy at one point, in an effort to counter the pirates advanced weaponry. The "Gatter" is a canon designed to shoot wooden-barrels that would shatter upon contact, sending wood shrapnel speeding in all directions. The barrels were filled with turtles. The purpose of the turtles was to make the ground on the ships near impossible to walk on, however, the turtles shot everywhere much like the wood shards did.

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.
