A plate of food (usually wrapped in aluminum foil) you bring home to gramma or granpa from a family function or celebration they were too old to attend. Usually, the intended recipient really hates this and only accepts it with a grimace and mumbled words.
Ah poor gramma and pop-pop they couldn't come to Thanksgiving dinner because they were too old to leave the house. Let's bring them a 'pity plate' home to them.

When your wife or girlfriend has sex with you, even when not in the mood, in an attempt to make you feel better.

On facebook, when you make a witty comment on a person's status and the person likes your comment first, and then, a few minutes later, out of pity for the other people who commented, likes the rest of the comments on her status. This often happens even when you weren't the first one to comment on the status.
I know I shouldn't give a shit, but Miranda gave out pity likes again after I commented on her 7-11 free slurpee status with "never forget." Fuck that bitch.

When someone hangs out with you because they feel bad for you. But it's pitiful because they will talk behind your back or are the reason that people feel bad for said person. No notice of planning, pity parties happen when said person may happen upon something that they are seeing experienced. They are included out of pity.

A condescending smile from someone who has a need to elevate themselves as better than someone else who may be suffering. A pity smile is actually self centered, and not truly compassionate nor empathetic.

When someone pastes something mildly ambiguous but troubling on social media that requires further investigation to determine the source and severity of the turmoil in their life. It's a desperate cry for attention
Sheila's status: I'm just SO hurt right now
Jack: Don't fall for it bro, she's just pity fishing! It could be anything from a stubbed toe or somoe hurt her feeling
