Washingtonian Center
Located in Gaithersburg, MD. Once the best place to meet and hookup with chicks. Unfortunately ghetto people and middle schoolers have taken over. Unless you're in the mood for some Friedchickenisha or a 12 year old girl you gotta go else where to get some digits. The increase amount of security has also made this old gold mine less attractive.
20 year old: Back when I was 16 I'd go to rio with all my buds, meet a girl and take her behind the bushes across the lake and slide into 3rd base every Friday and Saturday at the Washingtonian Center.
16 year old: Man I wish I could of experienced that. I went there last night and it was just a sausage fest with the occasional ghetto girl. I don't think I'll ever get some pootang there.

Washingtonitis
Noun- The ailment from which a politician suffers from being in Washington too long, and has a result, lost touch with his constituents.
A politician with washingtonitis usually raises massive amounts of money from special interest groups (i.e. Political Action Committees ((PACs)) Big Banks, Real Estate, Financial Investment groups and Corporations). In return for their monetary support the politicians support and lobby for the benefit of their patrons and usually override voters of the people the District. Often these are in Districts where there is little or no opposition. Thus there is nothing to incite an incumbent to do anything for the benefit of his District. See Eric Cantor, John Boehner and Michelle Bachmann

INGRAHAM: ... because this -- because of this. Because the things -- some of the things that you've said -- and they're not all negative, but some of the comments you've made about the Tea Party movement: it's good as the grass roots movement, which I agree. And then you also said, but not -- as a caucus, might not be that helpful.
And then, you know, your -- I think your comment, maybe it was last year about Rush Limbaugh wanting the president to fail. And people get a little worried that...
CANTOR: What?
INGRAHAM: ... you know, even Eric Cantor can get caught up in the Washingtonitis, that's all.

Striver
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.
