performing parent

over-acting and/or over-performing the role of a parent in public making certain that everyone can hear their use of parenting skills; perhaps trying to demonstrate that they are the "perfect parent" when in fact they fail miserably at home.
Although Sara was standing directly in front of her 2 year old daughter in the store, she spoke loudly and explained in adult terms why her toddler shouldn't throw the food out of the cart. Sara spoke loudly to make sure that everyone in the market heard how she "disciplined" her child seeking the attention and/or praise of those around her.

Sara is a performing parent.

Photo-opp parent

A parent (mother or father) that hands their children off to other people to be taken care of. At important or special occasions the parent shows up for the purpose of taking photos with the child so everyone can see how good of a parent they are and then leaves until the next photo-opportunity.
I have been singing the alphabet to the kids everyday for two years and Jimmy said his first word today. Wait, I better not take any credit for this until the photo-opp parent is here to post on facebook that Jimmy said his first word.

Implied Parenthesis

A term consistantly used by stubborn mathematically challenged morons who don't even know the order of operations.

Typically used as a defense when such people fail to answer a multi-part equation, and don't feel like admitting their mistake.

When a person uses this term they are basically saying that there should have been brackets surrounding certain parts of a math equation.
Person 1: What does "2 + 3 x 4" equal?

Person 2: 20!

Person 3: No it's 14, learn your order of operations.

Person 2: No! It's supposed to be read as "(2 + 3) x 4". Implied Parenthesis noob!

Person 3: If that were true then the entire order of operations would be untrue.

Person 2: IMPLIED PARENTHESIS!!!11!
