Octopush 

Share definition Flag
Awesome sport played underwater in a pool, with a lead puck and snorkelling gear. Two teams of 6, 4 subs.

No, the sticks aren't a metre long, that would be silly. They're 30cm max length and can easily lift the 1Kg puck off the bottom of the pool. Good players can get long (3m+) and high (1m+) flicks. Neither is it a slow sport - players wear fins and can go much MUCH faster than boring old lane swimmers.

AKA Underwater Hockey (UWH):
Invented in 1954, the original English rules had 8 players per team and the sticks are called 'pushers', hence "Octopush".

The rules are generally similar to hockey. When going for strike at the start of a game, all the players start at their goal line. There's 2-3 water refs in a competition, plus timekeeper and a poolside ref.

There are national and international competitions. Pretty big in New Zealand, South Africa, USA, UK, France, Australia, Portugal, Netherlands...

Water Polo players think their sport is challenging, but they struggle to think below the surface:

Speed Swimmers: "I can do fifty in blah blah blah..."

Water Polo: "Ug? Me drown you"

Free Diver: "I can hold my breath for blah blah blah..."

Underwater Rugby: "O hai, can I hold you?"

Octopusher: <elitist smirk>

(Said in a Sean Connery accent) - it's when you are so desperate to to push people out of your way that you become an eight armed, ninja warrior/Tasmanian devil, whirling around shoving everyone out of your path.

Leslie: What? Why? Julie is such a sweet girl!
Holly: Those Vince Camuto boots she's wearing were 75% off and the last pair in her size!

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
