Get the Pathetic Fallacy mug.Slang term used by natives for the town of Pacifica. (Also known as "Pacifyllis" and, sadly, "Hayward by the Sea.") This coastal town is only 16 miles south of San Francisco, and yet may as well be hundreds of miles away in terms of political attitudes and current fashion. This place has long been the stop for people to gas up, stretch their legs, and take a leak at Denny's while en route to spots(like Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz)more inviting down the coast.

Get the Pathetica mug.Related Words
Typically the most useless of people in this world. Don't get me wrong, MySpace is the epidemic of all kinds. But due to the fact that it takes over peoples lives is rediculous.
Take example: The MySpace Ho.
-Usually a two-faced-counter-slut who has a thing for talking to random 25 year olds that only want to bang them. Saying things such as "OMG Hottness Alert." When all and all its just a 40 year old guy masterbating to they're default picture. Usually these girls will have about 12,000 friends and only have about 30 comments. Always posting bullitans saying "OMFG New Picture, Comment now or ill kill you."
-The MySpace Pimp.
- Quite frankly, I dont even believe that there is such thing. I think that they are all just lonely men wishing that they would have actually got layed on prom night. They take pictures of models off of "Google Image" and put them as they're default picture, with only about a millimeter of space before you start seeing pubes.
Of course, even if they are telling who they really are, all of they're pictures are with them and they're shirts off just hoping that some random 15 year old "MySpace Ho" will come by and leave a comment, "OMFG, HOTNESS ALERT." Than they meet them in person at some random spot at the mall, they hit it off, and the next week he has an infestation of the pants.
