Define Rivalry Meaning

Rivalry
When you remember that one kid you had a crush on from the Garrison and told your gay dad all about, so instead of getting rejected or making it awkward, you pretend you hate him.

It backfires when you have a bonding moment and he pretends he doesn’t remember it.

It’s a rivalry. You know? Lance and Keith, neck and neck.

Rock Rivalry
A competion in East Rockaway High School that takes place between the months of January and March, involving students in grades 9 through 12. Rock Rivalry consists of many competitive and creative events, such as a sports night, arranging/directing a short musical production, and creating both a stand and mural to reflect the theme of each respective performance. Nassau Community College studies have found that the competition causes a great deal of inter-class and intra-class tensions. In addition, the only award for winning said event is a silver cup that the class can only keep for 2 days, usually resulting in copious amounts of alcohol consumption for both winners and losers alike. For about 2 months, this is all the high school will be talking about. East Rockaway High School has had this tradition every year since 1936

Retard Rivalry
An argument or fight between two or more stupid people. Especially immaturely and in front of a group of people.

Those two dumbasses, Ben and Jared, both liked the same girl, so they formed a retard rivalry and began yelling at each other like fucking five-year olds.

The retard rivalry between the homosexual HSM fanboy and the emotard went over the edge and eventually the two began viciously attacking each other.

Sibling Rivalry
the worst cinema motion picture release of all time, released in 1990. The storyline and plot are badly written, the acting is crummy to the hilt, the comedic elements and jokes are a bit on the sadistic nature - hell, even the obligitory sex scene is so phony you won't believe the directors and producers put it in like they did. It stars Kirstie Alley who was then starring in the cool TV series Cheers.

Don't waste your time with seeing Sibling Rivalry. It's absolutely depressing that this shit was actually promoted and advertised as a comedy.

One-way Rivalry
A one-way rivalry is a rivalry where one of the participants is much more emotionally invested in the conflict. This state could arise if one of the parties (A) to the rivalry objectively outmatches the other (B) in significant way. The inferior party (B) will continue to value the prospect of winning, while (A) will shift focus toward other competitors that provide more of a challenge. Alternatively, (A) may simply have lost interest in the rivalry.

(B) may perceive their opponent (A) to be elitist or condescending if the one-way status of rivalry becomes clear. Conversely, (A) may consider (B) to be desperate or insecure.

1. In sports, the Mets-Yankees rivalry is a great example of a one-way rivalry. By virtue of their geographic proximity, some conflict between the teams is inevitable. However, the Yankees are widely acknowledged to be the more powerful of the two and find the Red Sox to be a more worthy opponent (though the Sox-Yankees has had elements of a one-way rivalry in the past).

2. Perhaps the most significant example in US society is the South's antagonism for the North. Many Southerners still bear great ill will toward the North for their victory in the Civil War and subsequent control during Reconstruction, some even believing that the North may be actively attempting to "keep them down". Actual antagonism from Northerners toward the South is generally limited to jokes about the Southern accent and the like.

Finland-Sweden Rivalry
Shit people take way too seriously.
For example:
An annual hockey game, hosted by Finland and Sweden alternately, which is literally the high point of some people's pathetic years. Then there's also the annual decathlon, equally pathetically adored. I don't know about Swedes, but just about every single Finnish person I've met (excluding myself, of course) hates Sweden with a passion. At least while these stupid sport things are going on. I swear, the high point of most Finns' lives was when we beat Sweden for the hockey World Cup in 1995, in their stadium. Huzzah. I wasn't old enough to remember anything then, but judging from stories I've heard, 'twas a party like no other. There's been a song or two written about it. And then, of course, there's "Den glider in”.
And of course there's all the sayings we have about Sweden and whatnot. Like "Tärkeintä ei ole voitto, vaan se, että Ruotsi häviää" ("The most important thing is not victory, but that Sweden loses"). Not to mention all our jokes... Think blonde jokes, but replace "blonde" with "Swede". I've heard that Swedes also have similar jokes -- about Norwegians. It's a common stereotype in Finland that Swedes are stupid, and therefore Fennoswedes may be slightly discriminated against (although it's nothing compared to racial discrimination otherwise. Finnish people make me sick sometimes).
The stupidest thing? It has no logical beginning.

Finn 1: Wanna hear a Finland-Sweden rivalry joke?
Finn 2: Yeah!
Finn 1: What's a Swedish equivalent of a perpetual motion machine?
Finn 2: I don't know, tell me?
Finn 1: A piece of paper with "Please turn over" written on both sides!
Both: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
