missmoss 

In general it is the last moss of a mossing duel. A mossing duel is a contest where two or more people moss each other to hold the moss, where a moss is anytime a victory or glory moment is thwarted or stolen with no answer.

The term missmoss originates from the sports of football and basketball. In those sports, a moss refers to a stolen pass, and a missmoss was when the pass was stolen back or again, making the original mosser "miss the moss." The term missmoss was coined for when multiple mosses happen consecutively, and the last moss of the succession being the missmoss, referring to the fact that the last moss caused the previous mosser(s) to "miss the moss" or have their own moss attempt thwarted.

A missmoss can also refer to the mossing duel itself with the person coming out on top being the holder of the missmoss. It is also used to refer to when a mosser gets mossed.

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
