periodic full attention

It's effectively more or less synonymous with Constant Partial Atention.

So much to do, man, all you can do these days is give CPA to all of them. That way at least everyone gets periodic full attention (PFA).

periodic profile-purging

A boring-but-necessary bit of drudgery that must be performed every so often on your Facebook and other online "this is me and my life" pages, to ferret out and delete any derogatory/offensive/useless content that a few lazy-a** hoodlums with excessively-temperish personalities (and an unwillingness to merely talk to you directly/privately if they have a gripe with you about something, instead of just splashing their whimpery B.S. all over your profile's comments-section) and/or way too much time on their hands have posted there, so that other viewers of your profiles will not get any wrong ideas about you (i.e., incorrectly think that whatever is being complained about regarding you is actually valid, invalidly assume that you approve of and/or welcome less-than-decent-or-positive material, etc.).

I have to laboriously perform a periodic profile-purging for my Facebook and Tagged account-pages every few months, but I find it worthwhile, since most people whom I befriend online tell me that they like what they see in my profiles, and no doubt this is largely because I try to keep them "clean and pristine" so that viewers are not offended as they scroll down the pages.

periodic affection

Refers to da occasional hugs, kisses, hand-claps, pats on the head/back, shoulder-scrunchies, etc. dat at a cuddly dude gives a visiting lady-friend to ensure dat she never feels ignored, lonesome, or "left out" for too long during periods while he's busying himself with "bachelor chores" like housework, vehicle-maintenance, etc.

I met a nice lady on Tagged.com who is wonderful company whenever she visits, but she has physical infirmities dat make her unable to just effortlessly tag along wif me while I go about my daily duties around da house and garage, so I always make sure to shower her wif plenty of periodic affection so dat she feels reassured dat I remember dat she's there and appreciate her spending time wif me.
