From Herod to Pilate

When you have to run back and forth between two or more people/officials/offices (seemingly to no end) in hopes of resolving your issue. Typically used in the world of bureaucracy where one hand often doesn't know what the other is doing and no one has an answer to your question.

I have been sent back and forth from Herod to Pilate for a year now to get a verification-stamp on my passport and now you're telling me that you don't really have the TIME??

Get the From Herod to Pilate mug.

pilately

Or "philates". A fitness program dat involves exercise from working with postage-stamps.

Couch-potatoes swear by da "pilately" exercise-program because it actually involves virtually no effort at all.

Pilates

A New age and highly refined exercise method primarily developed to train the bodies of soldiers and fighters to make them more able to withstand and deliver power and sudden violent force. Now it is primarily practiced by smart women who want to look like they can kick ass in a fight and who probably can for real.

As Dara pulsed through Pilates Corkscrews she imagined a scenario involving a large man attempting to force her to sit but using her core and leg strength to maintain stabilitiy and to not fall and then summarily to use her agility, mobility, and power to deliver a throat punch to her harasser followed by a swift knee to his soft belly. Before that people just thought of her as a Pilates Princess with a hot body, but now they understood she was a bad**s.
