the name you give a party when your 'rents are sick of your social life

A get-together called a 'gathering' instead of a party, just in case people don't turn up and it turns out to be.. well.. pretty dull.

a social event, such as a party or a kickback, but without alcohol or any such drugs.

An uber kind of party which some guys invented and once in a while throw.
It is proudly a mangueira party.
I could say that it is an occasion where these guys drink, consume substances that make them laugh, philosophate, talk about all kinds of issues and even cry sometimes, but ill not because "what happens in the Gatherings stays that way !"

Typically a collection of 2 or more individual people. In many cases, one's name may be Kerri resulting in a somewhat youthful atmosphere.
