What A Shame

Used when someone's Dad dies in front of you, your fault or other wise. Best served with a dead-pan voice while wearing sunglasses, a black leather trench coat, and body armor.

Sandra : Oh my God! Daddy..
JC : What a shame..(lip smack) Such a rotten way to die.

What a shame about me

Ok. This gets a little complicated and convoluted but we'll do our best. Here goes:. Person ' a ' who's a raging success asks person 'b' who's not doing so well how it's going. When b extols his/her pathos and bathos person 'a'replies:"what a shame about me"see the irony? The origins of this are from a steely dan song of the same title. From their 2001 comeback album. 2 against nature"

Mr big asole: "hey. Poses
How are your investments doing?"poses: not too well. I took a bath on genentech!"mr big asole:"huh. Well.what a shame about me!"

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.

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

SkyPesos

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.

- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.
