Get the phase mug.
American slang for a gullible and weak-minded person. A patsy is a fool, usually a person that has good intentions but is deceived easily. The term originated when Irish immigrants came over to the USA, during the potato famine in the 19th century. (i.e. patsy = St. Patrick) and loads of Irish people entering the working class, were easily gullible and duped by Americans crooks/fraudsters when they settled there. Another term that isn't used very much and is more rare is, "paddy". Americans were mostly Protestants too, so calling Irish people patsy was more insulting of their Catholicism than their actual ethnicity.
It is no longer derogatory against just Irish people or religion in the USA, and is now usually used in modern society by American dads to scold their sons. It's almost like saying "Don't be a gullible pussy".

Snake Oil Sellsman: hahahaha! Those damned patsy's were duped again by our quack cures, and making us richer. It's a good thing they decided to come here, trying to take the easy way out, instead of staying in Ireland.

Get the baby phat mug.Attractive and gratifying. A synonym for "cool." The most inefficient synonym for "cool," that is. I have never heard anyone use this word, besides in a cartoon where the protagonist uses this word to compliment someone. This someone so happens to be a fat dude. The show then emphasizes how far this kid has shoved his foot into his larynx. Using this word unironically is not a good idea, as its homonym is not the most flattering adjective. No offense to fat people, though. They're usually pretty cool.
Johnny Test: You're looking super PHAT today!
Cool Clerk: WTF dude? Rude!
Johnny Test: You know, PHat, with a "PH!"
Cool Clerk: That's totally lame bro.

Get the Phat mug.A phase in your life that occurs frequently when you are fine with exploring promiscuous activities and connecting with random people. These activities do not always end in sex, but can lead to it. You have a high tendency to dance provocatively with strangers, be a tease in social settings, flirt non-stop, kiss and/or make-out with others, and get caught up in the moment. This phase helps you establish what you like and don't, explore your sexuality, and have fun. You have the ability to stop these actions or snap out of the phase.
This phase typically occurs when you are in a social setting and you have a lot of pent up energy and went to let loose. Some may think this is shallow, but knowing yourself is a learning process.
