survivorman 

Share definition Flag
A television show where Les Stroud, a survival expert, lives in the wild for a week while filming the experience.

He brings no food, no shelter and no water. Stroud is all alone--no camera crew--and carries fifty pounds of camera gear along with him as he goes.

Some of the first two seasons include spending 7 days in the Boreal forest, Georgia swamps, Kalahari desert, Amazon rain forest and the arctic.









Don't be fooled by Survivorman's can-do, "aw, shucks" likability--he will still be standing after the bombs fall and will repopulate the earth with a new race of affable Canadians.

Survivor 

Share definition Flag
A word trend in recent years has been the use of "survivor" not to mean someone who was almost killed, but anyone who has undergone a traumatic event. Terms like "Rape-survivor" and "Burns-survivor" being perhaps the most common, probably to emphasise the seriousness of the situation and to be more positive than to simply say "victim".
He is a rape-survivor.

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
