Get the douche parade mug.A specific type of golden parachute which refers to executives who receive a disproportionately large reward, bonus or bailout despite being painfully incompetent at their job to tragic ends and use said reward in irresponsible ways.
This is most accurately directed at executives in the finance industry who received money from the TARP act intended to save the economy and, instead, used it irresponsibly.
In parts of the US, pronounced "tar-POLE-ee-in bailout."

Man, can you believe those fuckers at Citibank? Got a TARPaulin parachute and pissed it away on interior decorating, hookers and blow. Get the pitchforks and torches, I feel an old-school populist rage coming on.

Get the TARPaulin Parachute mug.To pull out of a girl before ejaculation. In direct reference to the Dublin dart stop 'Sydney Parade', the term was popularised by Ross O'Carroll Kelly and one of his novels, 'Should Have Got Off At Sydney Parade'. An Irish phrase.
I have no condoms, what the fuck am I going to do?
You'll just have to get off at Sydney Parade, my man.

Get the panwaffle mug.At first glance, PPP is indeed "DDR with hands," until you find out exactly what you are supposed to do in the game.
In Parapara Mode, you are to copy exactly what the person on the screen does. It is exactly the same every time, and has several repeated things to do for each individual song, making it a sort of standard dance routine. This is much easier to memorize, since it's not like you have to remember every single arrow; just the dance itself. Once you memorize the song, which is entirely possible, you can set the arrows and on-screen dancer to invisible, and look completely cool doing the routine, AND getting all the arrows correct in the process.
In freestyle mode, the on-screen dancer is still doing the parapara routine, but is not mirrored to you (the camera spins and goes around her constantly). Instead, you are given completely unrelated arrows, so that you are supposed to make up your own routine. Mostly though, people just set it on hard difficulty, and go into what we like to call "Crazy arm-waving mode." This gives PPP a bad name, and is NOT what the game is about.

Para Para Paradise is a test of personal nimbleness and memory, while showing off the same to onlookers.
