mobile veil jail 

Share definition Flag
When one is forced to wear a burka veil, niqab part of the veil, chadri, purdah (face curtain) or other face covering by (1) social convention, (2) one's husband, (3) one's religion, one can be said to be in a mobile veil jail. Often those that wear the veil jail do so because of fear of reprisal or social ostracization or punishment. Since the person wearing the jail veil is generally allowed to move about in society only while wearing the veil it is thus a mobile veil jail. In some Islamic cultures the woman's face is considered "the most tempting part of her body, because what people look at most is the face" and is "awrah, aka intimate parts, which must be covered" as ordered by fatwa. The pre-medieval Bronze Dark Ages belief that the woman's face is an intimate part of her body and can only be seen by her husband or family or woman friends, out of fear that any man that sees her will want to be tempted to rape her thus they jail her for her own protection in a twisted perversion of protecting her by encasing her in cloth coverings. Some women claim to voluntarily wear their mobile veil jails out of respecting their culture or religion or faith, however that just indicates that they are captives and as such are not free. In many western and even Islamic countries the mobile veil jail is not permitted in public in part to prevent the literal covering up of physical abuse by family members. Some ultra-orthodox Jewish women wear the burqa as a symbol of protecting chastity.
Oh look the women there are all sewn up in mobile veil jails which they likely don't have any choice about it for fear if they don't wear them they'll get beaten by their husbands or stoned to death; they think that they'll be pounced upon and raped by the first male to see them; wearing a mobile veil jail is like they are still living in the pre-medieval Bronze Dark Ages.

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
