The title of the popular Lionsgate/Netflix television show "Orange is the New Black" was humorously adapted in November 2016 following the U. S. Presidential election of Donald Trump, to indicate that Trump (known for his orange-colored skin) would be replacing President Barack Obama (who is black).
Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the election...orange is the new black!

A Netflix Original series that kicked off in 2013. Season 2 started June 6th at 3am. (I'm watching it now. Js)
Ok so, it's about a woman named Piper Chapman who's in her 30s and is sentenced to 15 months for transporting money for her drug-dealing girlfriend (over a decade ago). While in prison she reconnects with her ex-girlfriend even though she is engaged to Larry. Obviously, she has problems in prison because let's face it, it's fucking prison.

It's actually a really good series, so check it out.

A Netflix original series, and a pretty good one at that. It's funny, but definitely way more lesbian sex than I bargained for.

If you're straight, you'll find yourself drooling over the few men that are actually on the show, like the cop John Bennett, or the main character's fiancé, Larry Bloom. Neither if whom is even that attractive....

Plus with all of the slang they use on the show, you find that you end up using Urban Dictionary way more than usual if you're as slang-illiterate as I am.
"Hey have you seen that new show Orange Is The New Black on Netflix?"

"Yeah. It's pretty funny. Have you?"

"Nah. I'm already subscribed to Lesbian Porn Weekly, so I'm good."

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
