Famous line from the comedy movie "Airplane!". Used when someone uses the word "Surely" in their sentence. "Surely" sounds like "Shirley" when spoken, and therefore making sound as though your name is Shirley, or talking to someone called Shirley.

Shirley Phelps-Roper 

Share definition Flag
1.(n, proper, technically) A member of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. It is the spawn of the church's founder, Fred Phelps. This she-devil is often seen at or near the funerals of Iraq War victims, and LGBTs who died of AIDS, sporting large, colorful signs stating "God Hates Fags" and so on. Like her father, she believes that everything bad that happens to any American citizen or the country is because of the lack of federal persecution of gays and lesbos.

It should be noted that she is forbidden entry into the United Kingdom or any of its territories.
Shirley Phelps-Roper is evil. Anyone who disrespects the dead, regardless of who they had sex with while they were alive, is an asshole and should burn in hell.

Anne Shirley Cuthbert

Share definition Flag
Anne Shirley Cuthbert is a fictional character from the show Anne With An E (a remake of Anne Of Green Gables).

In the beginning of the show, we see Anne as an orphan in late Canada, however, as the show progresses, she becomes familiar with the world of Avonlea, her new home. She is welcomed into the Cuthbert family by siblings, amarillo and Matthew (despite prior complications).

Anne is a kind hearted, poetic young girl with iconic red hair, usually worn in braids. Despite the hardship thrown at her, she never struggles to find the beauty in the world, explaining in the most fantastical ways e.g. ‘the white way of delight’ or ‘the lake of shining waters’. Anne is expressive and theatrical, even without trying to be. She truly is remarkable!

She is hopelessly in love with Gilbert Blythe (she just doesn’t know it yet) and is the bosom friend of Diana Barry. She is part of the Cuthbert family, whose farm she lives on (Green Gables) sling with other family members, Marilla and Matthew.

Join Anne in her adventures as her interest grows, and need to know skyrockets.

If you are ever lucky enough to meet someone who even slightly resembles Ms Anne Shirley Cuthbert, make sure to find a dear place in your heart for this kindred spirit.
Gilbert: Any dragons around here need slaying?

Anne: No! Thank you!

Gilbert: Hey! Who are you? Miss! Who are you?

Shirbert fanatic bystander: That’s Anne Shirley Cuthbert aka your soon to be wife. hehe <3 !!!

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
