photovation 

Share definition Flag
The sudden rush of motivation one feels after viewing pictures (or other media) of something that He/she desires. Often times this motivation is undermined by the fact that it is almost entirely fed by only temporary jealousy rather than the deeper seeded and longer lasting burn of a justified passion. In all cases, however, photovation can be used beneficially as a source of energy by the opportunists among us. Otherwise, it is generally seen as detrimental to ones good mood while also being instrumental for being somewhat productive, despite its short lifespan.

This word was coined by a group of surgeons. A picture is worth more than 1000 words, and this is particularly relevant to demonstrating complex techniques and steps in surgery, where a simple description cannot capture all of the nuances.
Specifically, this word was coined by a group of orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons, who wouldn't mind the word used and spelled as "fotocation" (verb: fotocate, adjective: fotocational) as well.
She is the photocation queen, where her pictures make it feel like you were there on the trip with her.
Hey, if you're free, can you help us with photocating our dance sequence so those who missed practice can catch up on it later?
The lighting, angle and framing have to be optimized for this picture to be photocational.

**Plototation** (noun)

**Expanded Definition:**

Plototation describes the inherent oscillation and dynamic interplay between opposing elements within a system, contributing to the maintenance of balance, stability, or equilibrium.

**Etymology:**

Derived from "pole," signifying extremes or opposites, and "rotation," indicating cyclical movement, "Plototation" embodies the concept of cyclical shifts that foster stability within various domains.
**Examples:**

1. **Physics and Engineering:**

- **Electromagnetic Systems:** Plototation occurs in AC systems, where voltage and current oscillate between cycles, ensuring efficient power distribution.

2. **Economics and Business:**

- **Business Cycles:** Economic plototation is seen in cycles of growth and recession, balancing long-term development.

3. **Ecology and Environmental Science:**

- **Ecosystem Dynamics:** Plototation in ecosystems involves species composition changes over time, leading to balance.

4. **Technology:**

- **Cybersecurity:** Plototation shifts defensive strategies to counteract threats, maintaining system integrity.

5. **Psychology and Sociology:**

- **Cognitive Processes:** Plototation describes the mental balancing act between rational and emotional decision-making.

**Significance:**

Plototation is a versatile concept, illustrating how systems achieve balance through dynamic interaction. By understanding plototation, individuals and organizations can adapt to changes, ensuring stability and resilience.

**Plototation** (noun)

**Definition:**

The dynamic process of oscillation or shift between opposing poles, forces, or states within a system, used to describe how balance and equilibrium are achieved over time.

**Etymology:**

The term "Plototation" combines "pole," referring to opposites or extremes, and "rotation," indicating cyclical movement. It captures dynamic balance within various systems.
**Examples:**

1. **Physics:** "The plototation of the Earth's magnetic field involves periodic reversals, ensuring the planet's magnetic balance."

2. **Economics:** "Market plototation is evident when supply and demand oscillate, eventually reaching a new equilibrium after economic shocks."

3. **Ecology:** "In predator-prey relationships, plototation helps maintain ecological stability as populations fluctuate over time."

4. **Technology:** "The plototation of data traffic in networks is crucial for preventing congestion and maintaining system stability."

5. **Philosophy:** "In ethical decision-making, plototation involves weighing opposing values to achieve a balanced moral outcome."

**Note:**

"Plototation" applies to various fields, illustrating the concept of achieving balance through dynamic oscillation between opposing forces or states. Whether in natural systems, human behavior, or engineered solutions, plototation represents the constant search for equilibrium.

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
