In contrast to “leisure”, which can be idle time of ease, respite, and relaxation, competitive leisure is the use of free time to engage in an activity, typically done only to relax and relieve stress, to instead compete to achieve a goal in order to feel superior to others who may also enjoy the same leisure activity, so that the leisurely feelings of ease, respite, and relaxation are dependent on winning, besting others, and succeeding at pointing out to others one’s own superiority.
Eric and Tim rode their fat tire bikes up the mountain trail in the snow for an hour, neither one wanting to quit, letting their fun ride become a battle of competitive leisure.

Get the competitive leisure mug.Essentially an opportunity and excuse for both skilled and unskilled players to sweat their arses off trying to obtain a virtual ranking with no material value.
Player 1: Dude I was playing some Competitive Ranked mode, damn everybody is so sweaty!
Player 2: Man that's just how it is in ranked. It's basically the definition of the phrase!

Get the competitive mug.When someone eats with reckless regard usually involving and not limited to ignoring errant food particles on face and, if applicable, in facial hair, shoveling food into one's mouth before completely swallowing the previous bite, utilizing every finger on every hand, and uncontrollable stares from spectators. Throwing up results in an automatic disqualification.
That guy always comes in here with his competitive eating etiquette like no one else comes to McDonald's. Show some class.

Get the competitive eating etiquette mug.The most preferred type of Super Smash Bros Melee, but also the most shunned type. The rules go with a 8-minute 4-stock game with no items and the stages, which are a measly 6, do not have hazards or promote poor sportsmanship strategies, such as camping, walk-offs, and wall infinites.
While many prefer this type of gaming, some shun those who play this way since they only prefer playing this way.

Regular Player: UGH! I'm so bored of this ruleset. Can't we play something else--
Competitive Melee Player: NO! IF YOU WANT TO STOP PLAYING, GO BACK TO YOUR TIME MATCHES ON BRINSTAR!
Regular Player: You need a break.
