A sport that most consider to be fun to do or to watch, and that the three people before me are making look like a boring sport with their lengthy explanations. The only main objective is to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible in your environment, but there's a reason it's a "sport" and not an "obligation". Have fun in your sport- take a little time to perfect a jump over something if you constantly see that you're messing up on it, let yourself get sidetracked and go chase a squirrel, go out of your way to climb up on top of McDonalds and dance around on the roof to make a fool out of yourself and then run like a madman when the workers are chasing after you shouting that they've called the "poh-leece on you!!!" Have fun, do what you can, and learn what you can't. Climb up on a Church and watch cars go by, push your body to it's limits. That's the perfect world of Parkour... not just discipline, but enjoying disciplining yourself.

Get the parkour mug.A term said by many (usually idiots) when they see a person practicing parkour, or when they themselves execute a maneuver that could, theoretically, be utilized in parkour. One possible origin is an episode of The Office in which certain characters decide to create a video of themselves attempting to do parkour. at one point, one of them exclaims "HARDCORE PARKOUR" just before attempting a complicated movement. It is not certain if those who use the term are making fun of it, or are, in fact, impressed. (the former is the more widely believed.)
NOTE: avoid using this term at all costs, because the people practicing will give you a disgusted look and go somewhere else; it's a big red flag saying "I'm a douchebag!"
