Them: “Nah that’s just pretty pity”

The gesture that a girl that is not romantically interested in you, but still wants you to be one of her orbiters, gives to you when hugging you by patting you on the back multiple times.
Girl: gives a pity pat.
Your response if you don't want to end up in a friendzone: "Leave the pity pat to your orbiters!".

Crutches, used by one who has sustained minor injury and lacks stoicism. Making every attempt to garner sympathy and attention.
This clown be getting around on pity sticks for four weeks now. Anybody would think the muthafucka gonna be getting his leg amputated, the way he goes on about it.

The inferior snack a co-worker or friend offers you AFTER they eat a delicious, far superior snack right in front of your face. The snack they will choose to not share with you will usually involve large quantities of butter cream icing. You will ALWAYS be miserable and on a diet when said scenario occurs.
Debra offered me some 100 Calorie Snackwell's, but only after she ate the oh-so-yummy chocolate Ele cupcake in front of me. She must really hate me to offer me such a pity snack. :(

Pity culture is where people with a nice lifestyle feel sorry for people without that lifestyle and imagine them to be suffering as a result. This in turn makes them feel guilty and they spend lots of time telling other people how awful it is for those people, to ease their guilt and make them feel noble.
They are easily manipulated by articles in the newspaper, which feed on their guilt, and give them a sense of power in their lives as they decide which brand of coffee to buy accordingly. They often have little idea beyond this about the lives of those involved.

"You shouldn't buy that brand of toilet paper ! I saw an article last night about how the people who make it are treated badly !"
"Hey, that paper is manipulating you through pity culture ! Maybe they have a deal with the rival brand of loo roll !"
