Townies (Towny made redundant as you'll never see one alone) 

An individual of extremely little intelligence, and of contrasting aggression. The individual, if male must be small and be within posession of a squeaky voice and have an ego of that of a huge 20 year old body-builder when in reality the owner of the aforesaid ego is as skinny as a twig. Uses highly offensive insults such as 'Ya mam!' or 'skag 'ead', has a distinct ability to pronounce H's or T's, most prominent on the words 'skag 'ead' and 'gutted' respectively. Not a single townie will have a realistic view of themselves and will perceive themselves to be genuine figures of inspiration in 'ardness' and that no-one will dare 'mess wit dem' for fear of being 'shitted up'. A townie's music taste will consist of anything with a repetitive beat and a minimum of vocals hence: "Push me, and then just touch me, so I can get my, satisfaction" from a townies perspective, the less complex and content of lyrics the better, in order to make it more digestable. Dress sense includes a backwards cap, tracksuit bottom, stud or small hoop in one or both ears, tracksuit bottoms (cheap) and hair style must be in perfectly formed 'french crop', vanity is an important aspect in being a townie.
Townie No. 1: 'Ere ya skag'ead, I wanna see dem needlemarks in ya arms ya skag'ead.
Townie No. 2: Yeah, you iz such a skag'ead Phat Rush, you iz wew phat.
Townie No. 3: Phat beats on Fursday!

Redundant Definition 

A redundant defintion occurs when someone submits a word to the Urban Dictionary that has already been published. This can either be caused by failing to look up the word before submitting it or by a dumbass who doesn't care if the word is already in the UD.

This term does not apply to an entirely different meaning or to a rebuttal defintion, but to a definition that is almost or exactly the same as a previous entry.

There really is no legitimate excuse for redundant definitions!
For examples of a redundant definition just look up Obama. There are several Obama definitions that are word-for-word indentical! There is no excuse for THAT kind of bullshit!
Now there is a redundant definition of redundant definition. Oh, the irony..

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

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
