pavilionaire 

Share definition Flag
One who is at the command of a wealth that is not financial yet chooses to hang out and camp in public places (like the sheltered pavilion in the town park). Usually sustained by unemployment money, these leisurely weekday independents typically have origins in some nice neighborhood. Fiercely aggressive about the correct pronunciation of popular authors, these hipster types often have self styled "religions" or "philosophies" that you probably won't 'get'. Immature with a marked narrow outlook, pavilionaires are somewhat akin to parkrats. All priorities and status are typically trumped by the pursuit of weed or beer.
(CAN BE FOUND IN LARGE NUMBERS AT THE VILLAGE PARK IN TALKEETNA, ALASKA)
A. Those kids are ALWAYS In the park! I wish they'd quit bumming beer and smokes from me.

B. Don't sweat it, they're just a bunch of worthless pavilionaires. We can keep the beer in the truck.

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
