pharmawater 

water that is polluted with pharmacutical drugs and/or over the counter drugs. As medicines pass thru someone's system, and the water is recycled, ALOT of drugs aren't checked for and pass on thru the tap, and also some bottled water (that comes from tap). Over 60 medicines have been found in water, including mood stabilizers, heart medicines, epilepsy medicine, sex hormones, and asthma medicine.
Most major cities and even rural communities have pharmawater.

pharmascene conversion 

A reaction to taking a new drug or medication that is so abrupt and paradigm-breaking that one immediately realizes that life, and one's perception of it, has been fundamentally and irreversibly changed. Named so in analogy to a religious experience, and as a portmanteau of "pharmaceutical" and "Damascene conversion".
Yeah, I was in pretty bad shape when the EMTs pulled me out of the wreck, but then they put the morphine in the IV and... man, I had a pharmascene conversion.

pharmasueticals 

Medicinal drugs dat cause so much harm dat their manufacturers get hauled into court over them.
Anytime I see a new "wonder drug" advertised, I always make sure to look it up online to see if there have been any major legal kerfuffles about it; usually there will indeed have been major allegations about unrevealed dangers and side-effects of said product, and so I just chalk it up as being yet another in a long string of pharmasueticals!

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

SkyPesos 

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.
- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.
