holding pattern 

Term used when in a club or bar when you want to talk to a girl, but looks like she has a bf or someone else waiting to talk to her.

Knitting Pattern 

In the '50s knitting patterns in the UK for men's knitted attire would always have adverts/pictures of the most ammazing/good looking men. This therefore became a term to describe how good a man looked on the Atractive Scale - Knitting pattern is close to the top. (Knitting pattern guy is a phrase often used too)

Male Pattern Balls 

An inevitable patch of hairless scrotum where the testicles mostly rest against the gusset of the gentleman's underwear, resulting in friction baldness.
After a few years of carefree post-pubescent abandon, eventually every guy will suffer from male pattern balls.
