Noun: Refers to a special group of people encompassing, students and adults. Common characteristics of people belonging to this group: stuck up, serious, usually looking out for their own wellbeing, grade or else wise, often disregarding their so called friends in the process, and quite often making a big deal out of a B+ thus earning them the title of Type A because anything less is a failure in their eyes.
