The name given to a person that chooses to complete random tasks to perfection, but lacks the ability to perfect or even attempt the other necessary tasks in life. A Selective Perfectionist has the full potential to do everything "just right" but chooses to waste all of their time perfecting something else when other things require attention. Also known as procrastinating.

Example one:
John: *In an over-enthusiastic voice* "I just spent 7 hours at work today organizing and perfecting some file drawers, I even re-color coded everything and put it in super-alphabetical order"
Diane: "Well that's great for you John, but have you done your laundry yet or taken out the garbage?"
John: "Uh, no."
Jane: "You're such a selective perfectionist. I want a divorce."
Example two:
Mom: "Jeffrey, have you cleaned up your room yet or packed for the Florida trip?"
Jeffrey: "Not jussst yet. See, I was playing Spore and I started creating my creature, then it needed wings, and I thought some horns would look pretty cool. Then I just had to give it some big eyes and razors for feet. And..."
Mom: "For f@#$ sake Jeffrey, you're 24. Put down the video game and turn your selective perfectionst attitude towards things that need your attention, like your room, or a SHOWER. I need a drink"

Get the Selective Perfectionist mug.A female that claims to be a virgin, yet only 33% of her relevant orifices remain pure. How special can it feel to be the first through the front door when the entire football team has been through the back door and explored the chimney already?
"She says she's a virgin but she's totally a 33 percenter. Just ask her about when she blew Scronaldo under the bleachers, or when she let your boy ZK, Alpengeist, Booms, and Brandopolis put it in the back door!"

Get the 33 percenter mug.The condition of being permanently stoned from smoking marijuana constantly. Those with this condition are often accused of being stoned even given the rare instance when they are sober.
Aaron hits the weed at least four times a day. The kid's perma-stoned.
I can never tell when he's stoned or not. He smokes so much it's like he's perma-stoned.

Get the perma-stoned mug.Two towns right next to each other in the Illinois Valley. Characterized by dozens of bars and dozens of churches. One of the only places in America where you can go to Sunday mass then have happy hour next door. Everyone from the age of 11 and up drinks. As for entertainment, there is not really too much to do...other than drink. Every year the high school baseball team does very well. The football stadium resembles one that belongs to a division 1 college, but not nearly as good as a division 1 school. Before going to football games, all the students get drunk. Then after, they get drunk.

Get the PeriodT Pooh mug.Person 1: what is perfect?
Person 2: it's when someone is flawless in every way; walk,smile, beauty, personality
Person 3: actually, Perfect has no definition. It is not black, white, gay, straight, poor, rich, popular, or any label. It is your values. Funny, kind, loving, loved, happy. Everyone is perfect in their own way. Many people say perfect could be a beautiful, thin, white, tall girl, with a handsome boyfriend who is hot, with a muscular body, and they are rich and love each other a lot. To me, perfect is a stupid word. We are limited to how much about our life we can make our own. You can't choose to be what you think is pretty and not. You can't choose to be the skinny Indian kid, or the gay gymnast, or the popular blonde. You aren't always a stereotype. You could be an autistic person who passes with the best grades, or the black teen who donates to the homeless each weekend. You can be whatever you want, and that makes you perfect.
