[quote=Anonymous]My kid uses it to describe a particular type of kid at his school who he has pegged as ambitious, likely under parent pressure, and generally likely to be solely goal oriented rather than intrinsically interested in the subject matter. It's off-putting to him because it is someone who isn't going to want to joke around and be silly at times, and won't care to engage in something that won't get noticed for college. It's definitely a real type so I don't see a reason to pretend it doesn't exist. Whether he or anyone on this board is accurately categorizing any particular individual is, of course, up for debate.[/quote]
