A game in which two or more people patronise each other in post after post on an internet thread, quickly losing any trace of coherent, respectful argument and regressing to child-like personal attacks.
"Hey man, check out this thread I just cut from the comment feed on that educaton reform piece I wrote. Patro-tennis all the way. Sigh. Why is it so hard to people to argue respectfully, in a way that indicates they're actually interested in challenging their own views and learning from each other?!"

"The above article is patently absurd. Why should the tax payer EVER have to pay for other people's education?! The fact that there is someone out there who even thinks these things is very, very worrying indeed. The idiots are winning."
User 2:
"@User 1: I assume you didn't actually read the article because if you had, you'd see that the third paragraph clearly explains different payment options that don't resort to tax dollars. I think you need your eyes checked?"
User 1:
"Son, you must be very young indeed. Whenever the government talks about education reform, it ALWAYS means more tax dollars. Get back to me in 20 years and I might be interested in your ideas, if you're even capable of growing up, that is."
User 2:
"Fuck you."
User 1:
"So's your face!"

Get the Patro-tennis mug.Back-and-forth arguing via Facebook status, usually between two people who won't speak directly to one another. Can also be applied to Twitter.
Emily Wesson thinks that some boys just don't know when to quit.
Jack Smith thinks that some girls don't know when to shut the hell up.
David Morrison thinks that some people need to grow a pair and talk like adults instead of playing Facebook tennis.

Get the Facebook tennis mug.A phrase normally found scribbled on the stall walls of a public toilet, followed by a magical command to "look left" where the seated participant will be greeted with the words "look right" compelled to do so by the confidence in which it is written, the cycle continues until the player either catches on to the fact that this will never end or...... dies on the seat due to dehydration and starvation.

Get the Toilet Tennis mug.A physique that is seen in males in their early/late 20's or even 30's. With a body structure of toned: arms, chest, abs and back muscles, but not visibly overly muscular or in extremely low body fat. It's a comfortable frame that can fit into any kind of wardrobe and not make your clothes appear visibly tight. It is a physique that is comfortable, attainable, and functional as opposed to a meathead's physique. This kind of build is seen in most men that come from wealth or have a high income profession and don't need to have big muscles to impress females Tennis bod is also quite similar to a physique that of a quarterback.
"You're not cutting bro?"
"Nah man, I'm always toned. I got the tennis bod
Yeah, Nick goes to the gym a couple times a week, eats whatever he wants, and still has a pretty good build. Definitely tennis bod material
I don't care about being big, I'm good with the tennis bod
