Parental Footprint

The term for how much of an impact you have on your parent's lives and money. Most poignant when living with parents at an age where you really should have moved out by now.
Derived from 'Carbon Footprint'

Guy 1: "Man, I can't believe you had to move back in with your parents"
Guy 2: "Yeah it's not so bad though, I have a well paid job and I cook my own meals so my parental footprint is pretty small"

Pierogi Parents

Polish parents who moved to America and discouraged their kids from learning Polish or about Polish traditions, leaving their children and grandchildren with no sense of Polish culture other than the existence of Pierogi.

“Hey man, Happy święconka! You’re Polish, right?”

“Nah, my parents were Pierogi Parents, I don’t know what that is.”

Parental rights

A modern way of saying "I think children are their parent's property." The term is typically used as a dog whistle to defend the ability of parents to abuse transgender children. It is also sometimes used by child predators to justify sexually abusing children.

"I'm not a bigot, but I do believe in parental rights."
