PDA (Pathetic Displays of Affection)

To those who thought there couldn't be worse than that couple slobbering noisily all over each other centimetres from your own face at rush hour on the tube (Public Displays of Affection) - think again.

There's always Pathetic Displays of Affection. These usually occur when one or both parties is irretrievably inebriated. Sometimes followed by convenient memory loss the morning after the night before and/or heavy regret and shame felt by one or both parties.

Almost without fail intoxication-related, Pathetic Displays of Affection can be physical or virtual - in which case, thanks to the miracle of modern technology, they can take the various but inevitably excruciating forms of drunken dialling, texting or even, more permanently so, emailing and instant messaging.
Pedro, spare us all the PDA (Pathetic Displays of Affection) and the ensuing wingeing phone call to me about how mortified you are. There is no world in which it's a good idea to tell this Madeleine girl you just met at the bar that you want to marry her and impregnate her shortly afterwards. Even if she IS a hot blonde blue-eyed Swede.

Pathlete

Originating from the word combination of bike path and athlete / triathlete, a PATHLETE is a cyclist who rockets down bike paths in full race gear, blowing by kids, old ladies, dogs, strollers.

The Pathlete does not actually however compete in organized activities, just a poser trying to impress the uneducated.

Massive egos and superiority complexes rule the pathletes.

Pathletes ride the newest, fastest, shiniest - but are still the slowest - in groups - which is why they always ride alone.

Should they ever enter a race, they would be crushed by other racers.
Rider 1: "That jackass just about ran over that kid! It's noon on Sunday - why is he flying down the bike path like that??"

Rider 2: "Dude, that's a pathlete."

right hand path

1. In eastern mysticism, any spiritual discipline embodying the principle of yang; characterised by conscious effort and striving to expand the student's potentiality. In such arts, enlightenment is reached by self-discipline and some forms of self-denial, such as fasting to reach altered states of mind. Called Dakshinachara in the original Indian doctrines. While it is the opposite of the left hand path, both paths require knowledge of one's inner self.

2. In modern western revisions, any spiritual discipline pursuing a state of being thought to be higher than the material world, such as the Christian concept of salvation.
1. In walking the right hand path, a student may keep a daily meditation and study schedule.

2. In the west, magicians of the right hand path seek to merge their consciousness with that of the universe.
