Chasing Pavements 

A fruitless activity. Tring to achieve something that is destined to failure, usually as a result of blind hope.

I have been trying to get back with my boyfriend but I think i'm just chasing pavements

Pavement Testimony 

That fine piece of oratory that can be delivered only by one who has had a pint.

The expression of one's drunkenness through the medium of regurgitation.

Luke: So how was Quinn's birthday? Did he get lashed?

Fred: Hell yeah, he REALLY had a pint - he'd given his Pavement Testimony by half ten!

Chasing Pavements 

Refers to a song by Adele in which she ponders the question: should I give up (this relationship where my BF is cheating on me) or should I just keep chasing pavements? (sidewalks. Staying in the relationship even if it leads nowhere). Adele realized how ridiculous it was that all she was doing was chasing pavements in this crappy relationship and used it as a metaphor.

Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?
