A personal holiday is the celebration of a significant event in your life. Your birthday is the most common personal holiday, and is often celebrated with friends and family, using standard ceremonies which in North America include a birthday cake with candles and the receiving of gifts.
A common shared personal holiday is the anniversary of a wedding. Less commonly celebrated shared personal holidays are "our first sex day" and even "day we met day".
There are personal holidays which commemorate more solemn occasions, such as that shared by siblings on the anniversary of a parent's death.
The largest (and largely unacknowledged) group of personal holidays are more private ones. These include "day I quit smoking/drinking day" and celebrations of life-changing events such as "first orgasm day" and "spiritual awakening day" (which may, for some, coincide).
Widely shared, but even less acknowledged, are anniversaries of negative personal events, like "shot my mouth off day" or "caught cheating day". Whether they are admitted to or not, these negative personal holidays require their own forms of ritual remembrances, such as throwing a good drunk.

Ping: Why weren't you at work yesterday?
Pang: Oh, I took a personal holiday. It was "First Time I Saw the Grand Canyon Day"

Get the personal holidaymug. Someone you cant depend on because they are wishy-washy and only stick around only when its beneficial for them. As soon as things get tough, uncomfortable or uninteresting, they are gone. Their loyalty and character are contingent on the situation at hand, meaning, they aren't sincere or dependable. They're selfish and inconsistent- fake. They're always switching up their position and views in order to appeal to the person they are trying to impress. They're superficial and shallow. Not deep.
She won't show up if there's nothing in it for her. She's a conditional person. She'll act like she cares, as long as she gets what she wants.

Get the your personmug. 1. Another slur for idiot.
2. A person whose arguments are ignored, typically in derogatory justice (and it's surprisingly common, even as it's generally denounced).

Get the Worthless personmug. Adjective: A transient personality is one that is ever changing and adapting. Transient personalities are not stable or static. They are not genuine. They can change on a whim depending on whom is near or perceived to be watching them or how much of a chameleon they must be to fit into the group they want to be a part of.
A Transient personality might become a die hard sports fan, for example, if his or her coworkers all have an excessive interest in sports.
Some of Charles Manson's Family might be considered transient in personality. A few of his female followers grew up attending church and singing in their choir. One graduated college and one was a Librarian's Assistant when she met Manson. However, all education, religion, and morals were tossed aside quickly when their transient personality shifted to Manson - like interests.
Transient personalities can also be seen in those who have borderline personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder.
Transient personalities can be seen at work or school or church. Have you ever had a nice manager turn into a real by the book condescending jerk because upper management was watching him or her perform their job? Once their performance was no longer being scrutinized, they became that nice manager again. Or how about the people who preach and pray and sing in church or Sunday and then molest kids on Monday?

My first impression of your father was that he was a warm, loving, and generous man, but after accidently bumping into him on the opposite side of the protest where he was wearing full KKK dress, I knew the warm and loving side of him was just a transient personality. There is nothing good about anyone who is involved with the KKK regardless of what our transient personality disordered President might say.
