jerry predator
Someone who seemed like a total fuckup, but redeems themself with a hot girl, tons of popularity, and respect. The process isn't quick if you've been friends with them over the time, as sometimes it seems like it takes a hundred years before they reach this point of badassery.
Man, you see Jerry Predator over there, remember back in college when that failure kept screwing everything up? Never thought he'd make such a huge comeback like this.
