we're talking about practice

1.) A discussion focused on trivial matters, not related to the big picture
2.) A meaningless exchange
3.) A downplay of a criticism of oneself
"It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that? ... Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about practice. We're talking about practice man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about practice. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about practice right now. ... Hey I hear you, it's funny to me too, hey it's strange to me too but we're talking about practice man, we're not even talking about the game, when it actually matters, we're talking about practice ... How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?"

practice wood

The male in the relationship when a female "virgin" has sexual intercourse with a male but the female does not count it against her virginity.
A girl who had practice wood often wears a purity ring. This is used to make others believe she is still a virgin, and help her to believe it herself.

Ron wanted to be Rebecca's practice wood . He proclaimed himself a Christian and joined the local Young Republican's group. When around her, he would say "Praise Jesus" whenever anything remotely good happened. After 3 days, Ron became Rebecca's practice wood. Ron also discovered he wasn't her first practice wood, even though she was "still a virgin."

When a girl is "Still a virgin" because she wants to wait until she is married before having sex, she will engage in sexual intercourse with a male (the practice wood), but not count it and still proclaim her virginity.

practice room

A place designed for band kids to practice their instruments, practice rooms are hardly ever used for their intended purpose. More often, they are used to make out, have sex, go to sleep, or even just to hang out without the band director yelling at you. ALWAYS knock on the door before entering a practice room, especially if the lights are off.
