Simply put, the most creative way to get from point A to point B.
Person 1: Who did you just see Jimmy jump off the roof and make a backflip?! He should be in a circus! What is that move called?!?

Person 2: It's parkour, dude. And he was just getting the newspaper from his driveway as does every morning. You should see how he goes grocery shopping for some real entertainment.

A term said by many (usually idiots) when they see a person practicing parkour, or when they themselves execute a maneuver that could, theoretically, be utilized in parkour. One possible origin is an episode of The Office in which certain characters decide to create a video of themselves attempting to do parkour. at one point, one of them exclaims "HARDCORE PARKOUR" just before attempting a complicated movement. It is not certain if those who use the term are making fun of it, or are, in fact, impressed. (the former is the more widely believed.)
NOTE: avoid using this term at all costs, because the people practicing will give you a disgusted look and go somewhere else; it's a big red flag saying "I'm a douchebag!"
PARKOUR PARKOUR!!!

It's wrong if you call a Parkour practitioner a 'Parkourer'.
A Parkour practitioner is called Traceur. Traceuse for female Parkour practitioner
Some dude : Are you a Parkourer?
Traceur : No i'm not, a Parkour practitioner is called Traceur

In simplest scientific terms, Parkour is a method of movement that focuses on maximum conservation of momentum in order to create a fluid and painless way to get from point A to point B.
Parkour can be seen in the french film Banlieue 13, starring one of Parkour's creators, David Belle.
