Phamistry
Today in my Phamistry class, I learned about the ethics of moneymaking and the faults of everyone who was sitting in that room at the moment.
Get the Phamistry mug.
Philisiwe
Nguni name usually given to girls. The one who’s given and brings life. She is known to bring joy to people’s faces. Calm but fierce. A necessary force with unforgettable beauty. Being in her presence is a blessing like no other. She’s determined, smart and is a good friend.

Palisadian
Teenage Palisadian:
A resident of Pacific Palisades, an upscale community near Santa Monica. In particular, teenage Palisadians have a tendency to follow every trend blindly as it arises, from the "emo" trend to the "skater" trend to today's wigger trend. Most teenage boys play either water polo, lacrosse, soccer, or volleyball and sport either a mediocre tan or horrible freckles along with blonde hair from overexposure to the sun and chlorine. The pasttime of any one of these boys is to drink and smoke marijuana, party, go to another coastal town such as malibu, or any combination of the three, and more often than not, all three. Parties tend to be full of uninvited guests, slutty Palisadian girls, and stoner/jock boys, all of whom are either drunk, stoned, or both. At such parties, drama is bound to unfold from one teenage trifle or another; more often than not, someone will start a fight, pass out from intoxication, or do something to merit the cops being called. The result is person-to-person chatter that spreads the story around until everyone in the town knows it. When a Palisadian teenager dies from an alcohol related incident, such as DUI, the other teenagers mourn the passing as if an accident like that wasn't going to happen.
However, frightening realities such as death aren't enough to deter these children from their fun, so their fate is left to natural selection in hopes that the weak will be seeded out.
If one seeks to find a stereotype of a typical rich white boy or girl, then one need look no farther than Pacific Palisades

A typical conversation between Palisadian boys the day after a party:
Prima: "Oh dude how crazy was the party last night?"
Secunda: "Oh shit dude, I was so wasted."
Prima: "I know dude, oh man you were so beast at beer pong."
Secunda: "Oh yeah totally. Oh dude did you see (girl) last night?"
Prima: "Oh shit, yeah dude, she was so hot."
Secunda: "Yeah I know dude, she was totally wasted, and so she walked over to me and like, I totally hooked up with her."
Prima: "Ohhhh shiiiiiit."
Secunda: "I know, right dude? It was so crazy."
(Voices are "whispered" yet still loud enough to be audible to anyone nearby)

philistine-tastic
The (usually sarcastic) celebration of the philistine ideals of low-brow, materialistic culture over the "highly overrated' ideals of an intellectually curious, artistically creative one.
My knuckledragger boyfriend is so perfect for me. I especially love his philistine-tastic pea brain. It's his second best feature.

Philisophical lip service
A person giving "philisophical lip service" is someone who elaborates about specific ways, principles and ideals that one should live by, but they themselves do not implement these beliefs in their own lives.
One person in a crowd that will use "philisophical lip service" to control the conversation by insisting that their beliefs are the ways to live by. They do not take others' opinions and ideas into consideration, shutting down any input by others, however they themselves do not practice in their own lives what they preach. In essence, a hypocrite who is a self centered egotistical, self rightous asshole

pharisee
Jesus Christ defined pharisees in the following passage;
“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
“Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteriesa wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them ‘Rabbi.’
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Christ. The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
“Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’ You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. And he who swears by heaven swears by God's throne and by the one who sits on it.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices–mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law–justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and selfindulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers!
“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. I tell you the truth, all this will come upon this generation. (Matthew 23:1-36)

If you read the passage and then look at the actions of golden boy George W. Bush and a lot of other Republicans, they all look like a collection of modern day pharisees.
