knightmage

Referring to any creative endeavor but esp cosplay:
- it doesn't have to be perfect
- it's okay to half-ass it
- it doesn't need to be accurate
- it's okay to use artistic liberties and make it your own
- modify it, but it, or make it: it doesn't matter as long as it gets the job done
- the ONLY thing that matters is that YOU feel good wearing your cosplay and YOU are having fun

"I was gonna go full canon with my Iron Man but I think I'll just Knightmage it from here"

"She's not too heavy to play that character, she's Knightmaging it perfectly"

Nightingale syndrome

The Florence Nightingale effect is a situation where a caregiver develops romantic feelings for their patient. Many often misunderstand the term to mean the opposite; that is, a patient falling in love with the caregiver as a result of interpreting an amiable bedside manner as affection.

See Florence_Nightingale_effect on Wikipedia, often confused with Nightingale syndrome (which is something else entirely).

Knitting Pattern

In the '50s knitting patterns in the UK for men's knitted attire would always have adverts/pictures of the most ammazing/good looking men. This therefore became a term to describe how good a man looked on the Atractive Scale - Knitting pattern is close to the top. (Knitting pattern guy is a phrase often used too)

Knitting pattern found in Coupling (BBC)

Nightingale Pasta

A phrase that is used when more than one neighbors sexual activities can be heard at the same time, giving the impression that a nightingale is dying in boiling agony. The common response to this layer of awkwardness is to eat pasta.

I swear all my neighbors were going at it last night...so I had to bust out the old nightingale pasta cuz I don't have a girlfriend.

masturbatory knitting

When you decide to enter a period of celibacy, and take up knitting to fill the void in your life.

I know this girl who recently decided to lay of the sex for a while, but she uses masturbatory knitting to relieve stress and pass the time in bed.
