gorification 

Share definition Flag
originating in the urdu word for a white person i.e. gora, gorification refers to the progressive erasure of indian cultural traits from a person of indian origin in favour of american or british cultural traits.
signs of gorification include the pronounciation of a traditionally indian name in such a manner that it almost sounds like an english name! very low tolerance levels for spices, especially chilli, decline or absence of any knowledge of the names of the various dishes that made up your staple diet until you were 16, the declining ability to eat with your hands and the absolute inability to eat rice with your hands, the idea that bollywood movies still don't show kissing and the notion that watching a bollywood movie is akin to a novel cultural experience.

"you can't eat rice with your hands, aisha? (who prefers to call herself asia) your gorification is almost complete!"

to become gorified is to simultaneously be de-desified. ones levels of gorification are inversely proportional to ones levels of desfication/desication

gorification is a synonym for de-desification/de-desication

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
