Pocket presence

A quarterback is said to have good pocket presence if he:

--Is able to sense when the pocket is closing in around him while simultaneously looking for open receivers

--Knows when and where to move within the pocket

--(Most importantly) Maintains composure in the pocket while under pressure

Good pocket presence separates decent quarterbacks from great quarterbacks.

presenteeism

Act of showing to work when you are sick. Opposite of absenteeism.

false pretense 

In law, it means making untrue statements for the purpose of obtaining money or property. It is a form of theft.

But it could also be a false representation of fact or circumstance; misleading; lying.

Disney should be charged with false pretense for making little boys and girls believe that life always has a happy ending, for making boys and girls believe that a bully will always get what they deserve, and for making little girls believe that there is a prince charming out there waiting to sweep them off their feet. This misrepresentation of life that Disney gives leads to their money gain.

presence 

I want a shoulder to lean on
same strength as mine
a tongue thatll speak sincerely
since really, sin's in me, sin's in you
but we exercise for a love that feels new
coz its worth it, the life, the time, the weight and the work
I want two lips to french kiss my soul
touch me inappropriately in places noones been before
someone with the audacity to like me
my monsters and saints

i want presence. i need presence.
I am a chemist, a physicist, a biologist

Presence Rape 

A ridiculous claim that many feminists make to try to arrest someone. The claim believes that "any male within 100 yards of you" is trying to rape you. Even if a guy walks past a woman messing around on his phone without paying any attention to the woman whatsoever, the woman can claim "presence rape." It suggests that any male who gets within even a few yards of a woman is deranged, dangerous, and must be jailed immediately. People with common sense ridicule this extreme claim. Unfortunately, common sense isn't entirely common.

Inmate 1: What did you get in for?
Inmate 2: I presence raped someone.
Inmate 1: What's that?
Inmate 2: (Shows this definition to Inmate 1.)
Inmate 1: I pity you.

Woman is sitting on a public park bench.
Man jogs past, listening to a song on his IPod.
Woman: PRESENCE RAPE! PRESENCE RAPE! HE PRESENCE RAPED ME! HE GOT WITHIN 5 YARDS OF ME!
Man is arrested and sentenced to 25 years in jail.
