Pee Performance

Standing and peeing directly in the water with the door open
You've got some bros over and a few hotties, and as you're trying to impress the hotties, one of the bros goes to the bathroom and proceeds to pee loudly in toilet bowl with door open. He doesn't even try to aim on the porcelain, but goes directly in the water... "Really bro? Now's not the time to give us your pee performance!"

Performative wokery

The act of claiming offence on behalf of a third party, without any discrimination for context, intent or reasoning. Used affirmatively by young or naive social warriors, who believe any loud noise they make brings attention that helps their cause. Used disparagingly by experienced social warriors with experience actually inciting change, who know that shouting at strangers mostly undermines the cause's legitimacy and attracts the wrong sort of attention.
Have you seen Jack's twitter where he picks fights with celebrities? I know he's trying to be on our side but his performative wokery is starting to put everything we stand for at risk.

Performance Amnesia

The ability to instantaneously forget any and/or all memory of strike-outs at bat, missed anniversaries, double-fault serves and the like--before their accumulated effect can have a detrimental impact on real-time performance.
Hey, Ass-Clown--It might feel good at the time, but it's just not cool to smash an innocent tennis racket or throw your bat into the stands...get some performance amnesia or take up stamp collecting.

Permormance

the phenomenon of a herd of Mormons coersing to put on a play.
