Petering

When one orders food at a restaurant, eats anywhere from 75-99% of it, and proceeds to explain to the waiter/waitress that the food isn't correctly cooked, wasn't the correct order, etc... In hopes of replacing said order with a new one.

*ate 3/4 pancakes*

Kid: "Excuse me sir these pancakes are not cooked correctly, may I have a plate of chicken fingers"

Waiter: "this kids gotta be petering me"

Petering

When someone is acting as a self centered prick, they tend to always think themselves right and that the things they do are exceedingly funny (even when they are clearly not). They will argue over the smallest things that they have no knowledge in, and would rather fight about everything than say admit defeat. They will blamed all shortcomings on someone else rather then themselves.

So I was playing games with Rob last night, and he just kept petering. When I told him to stop being a prick, he told me it was my fault.

Petering

In a tactical FPS video game setting, to Peter (present part/verb: petering) is to strafe-walk while spraying a weapon, resulting in kills full of bodyshots that would often off-put players who aim for the head, tilting them by invalidating all their aim-training and hard work. Fk you Peter!

"Haha you cannot headshot me, but I can bodyshot you 3 times fkin loser" - Peter probably

"Oh my god this guy is petering, no fckin shot. This guy is so trash at the game"

Petering

When you're just fucking doing it. Getting it done. Hard. Real hard. Like the late great Robin Williams did as he became the first man to achieve aerial flight capability.

We're petering so hard in this warzone.
