2. The act of using larger equipment than necessary to complete a task, often those which could easily be done by hand or simple manpower alone.

“You used the box truck to move the light carts downstairs but then needed six people to lift it onto the loading dock? Why didn’t you just use a couple of people and the elevator? Dude, you were just Palomboed.”
“I don’t want to be Palomboed by waiting for you to go get the slow moving lift motor and chain from another building. We’ll have it up in thirty seconds this by having someone foot it and me lifting it alone.”
“I need to get a lot of similar width cuts of paper from this huge roll. What if I took off eight feet at a time, rolled them into tight rolls, and then sent them through the table saw, length-wise? Oh my gosh… did I just Palombo myself?

Get the Pagoda mug.The secluded and exlusive hill south of L.A. and the beach cities where you are noticed if you don't drive a BMW, Mercedes, or other car valued at $50 grand or more. We have huge mansions and have The OC constantly being filmed in or near our homes. Our crime rate is in the 10 lowest in the country, most of our parents are on the Fortune 500 list, and it's not unusual for us to be friends with certain celebrities or to be invited to awards shows or club openings. We have the beach, the city, the cars, the houses, gorgeous trust fund teenagers, and money...so yah it's alrite to be jealous of us.
Who are the hot chicks in the Mercedes CL 500 with the Chanel sunglasses and more Juicy Couture than Saks Fifth Avenue?---They're from PV man...everything's fine there

Get the palos verdes mug.One of nine playable classes in the game World of Warcraft. Currently, Paladins are specific to the Alliance, and can only be either Dwarves or Humans. In short time, however, Paladins will also be playable by the Horde, as Blood Elves.
Paladins are often thought of as easy-mode players because of the Paladin class ability to wear the heaviest class of armor, wield a large variety of weapons, and have the ability to heal themselves in combat. They are sometimes likened to adolescent/immature players, or mentally handicapped. The underlying irony of those insults is that they are made by other players of the same game, and they are no more intelligent or mature than any other player of said game.
Truth be told, Paladins are no more viable than any other class in World of Warcraft. Every class has the choice to specialize in three different aspects of their abilities, and the Paladins are no exception. They can choose to be exceptional healers, psudo-tanks, or powerful damage dealers. The misconception is that they can perform all three roles simultaneously, which is simply not true.
The Paladin class can be a very entertaining class to play at all stages of its development, be it during the levelling process, PvP, or PvE content. They posess a rich variety of spells and abilities that not only make them exceptionally survivable, but a true blessing to any group.

"Unlike you, I choose to play my Paladin the way it was meant to play, as a versatile support class capable of multiple roles."

Get the Paladin mug.Someone that is overtly condescending and cocky about their abilities and firmly believes in their own perfection. If you aren't as good as them (and you're not) it's because you're stupid.
Others dream and reminisce of the inevitable times when the cocky paladin meets some thing or person that simply destroys him, hopefully in a very humiliating fashion and always because of their cockiness.
Used most often in reference to video gaming, but works for real world also. Cocky paladins that are also flash bastards are true hate magnets.
