Mangineering

Share definition Flag
The act of creating or repairing useful items employing the materials at hand. Mostly practiced by men, it is often criticized by those who aren't able to come up with solutions anywhere near as practical. Common mangineering supplies include duct tape, bailing wire, zip ties, and PVC pipe.
Sally and Tom were stranded in the middle of nowhere because their car wouldn't run. Sally stomped her feet and shouted "Girl Power!", but for some reason it still wouldn't run. Tom used his mangineering skills and fixed the problem with duct tape while Sally rolled her eyes.

Did you hear Jim's girlfriend found a bottle of estrogen pills prescribed to him? Can't believe we've had a manmoder hiding among us this whole time, why doesn't she feel comfortable enough to come out to us?

manbender 

Share definition Flag
Similar to a bender of many sorts (alcohol, coke, life, etc), a manbender describes the life of a single lady out to enjoy herself and meet guys with a non-committal attitude. She is not looking for love or marriage, just to have a good time and add men to the 'rotation'. This might involve banging, kissing, grinding up on the D-floor, or all of the above. "Just get'r done and on to the next one!"
Katie: I've been on a huge manbender this month, I was supposed to meet up with Mike last night but then I met this guy Derek and shit got real. Steve was texting me all night too, but I'm over him...and then there's Brad who wants to go for drinks but I madeout with his friend John two weeks ago so..."

Lauren: Damn girl, I respek that. I had to take Jay out of the rotation because he became too needy.

manbander 

Share definition Flag
Coined by Jim Rome, a term for a male over the age of 21 who is part of a boyband who makes music that is geared to young girls and teens. Just about every male in the boyband business continued doing so well after their 21st birthday.
They should be called The Backstreet Men because they are all over 21. They are manbanders.

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
