Yes, there’s someone on here who has a hard-on for “the affluent.” Barf.[/quote]

But hates “strivers”.[/quote]

Kinda OT but what’s a “striver.”  I see that word on these boards a lot recently and I have no idea what it means. [/quote]

A striver is someone from another part of the country (usually the Midwest) who moved to the DMV after collecting degrees from prestigious universities. The striver then gets a government job and marries another government worker with a similar educational pedigree.

The striver then tries to climb the local social ladder by dumping old friends for new ones who are more connected and useful. The striver also posts threads frequently on DCUM asking if the are “upper class” by virtue of their schooling. Strivers also throw shade on those who do actually have/earn more money than them, but do not have the same impressive degrees.[/quote]

So if you don't have a prestigious degree or already lived in the DMV or work for big law, what does that make you?[/quote]
