community of practice

Time invested in relationship where words come off paper, social learning is valued and wisdom is nurtured.

When community of practice is consistently experienced, high impact meetings become status quo.

precarious position

To be at ones mercy. To be in a situation where only someone else other than your self can decide your fate. (Most of the time a bad scenario).

When Steve put my king in check i knew i was in a precarious position.

After the defendant sat down and took a look into the eyes of the vindictive jury he thought to himself "well ain't I in a precarious position".

Practical Vegetarian

A Practical Vegetarian is someone who almost always eats plant based food when that choice is available. And when that choice is not available she is open to eating whatever food is indeed available.

During my trips around the world I sometimes eat animal products as I am a practical vegetarian. If the choice is available I eat plant based foods.

Practice MVP

One who gives 110% in a practice setting, which makes the starters work harder to keep from looking bad in front of coach. But come game time, this individual rarely see's playing time due to lack of athleticism and game instincts. Similar to an "Uncle Tom" but is referring to an athlete in any sport.

This terms translates to the "game" on the streets.

Yo practice MVP is gonna get his ass kicked if he keeps up his shit during sprints.

Yo who told coach I was using steroids? Practice MVP did!

Yo, pactice MVP gots all the gear and it cost him every cent he's got and it will never see a second of game time.

practicing flute

a torturous event that involves many hours, often in a small, bear, white room, by one's self, working endlessly on a few passages to have them torn apart at your next lesson

"You want to go out tonight?"
"Sorry, I'm practicing flute."
