Get the parabolist mug.A game of any kind (mostly video games) that is lacking a real sense of direction and purpose but is masked by the sociology aspect of the game.
Games like this usually have a multiplayer feature which causes this "masking" or "The Parachute". This term is a generalized and complicated term for which it simply explains how people treat a game as a group. Games that have been seen as Parachute games are usually still widely played mostly because of the social part of the game that they can't break away from. The games have no real multiplayer aspect, but they are seen as fun because of the forceful gathering of people in order to make it fun. MMos titles can have this affect, because of the major social aspect of the game.
This Term does not have to be negative and can simply describe a game that is only played because of what people made of it and not what it actually is.

A place in the infamous South Auckland. Nowhere near as bad as what all the outsiders say about it. Its not even a bad place if you live here, there maybe alot of shop robberies and people getting jumped, but like tbh its only the people who DONT EVEN LIVE HERE OR HAVE NEVER LIVED HERE IN THEIR LIFE make it sound so bad to the point where you just wouldn't wanna live here. Papakura High School is only a bad place depending on the way you look at it. The school always provide free food and stationary for the kids, the kids themselves are only gonna jump you if you act like a dumb cunt and stare at them or get cheeky to them. Papakura claims a spot in one of the top 10 worst places to live in New Zealand but as a person who has been brought up in the 'Dirty South' that is definitely not true lol

Get the reverse-parachute mug.When a group of people smoke marijuana under a blanket, much like "dutching" up a car. In the same aspect of "Hot Boxing" a small room. But all partipants must be under a seemingly large blanket and all smoke must be kept within the blanket. Limitless partipants long as you have a blanket big enough. Caution under the blanket gets quiet warm.
