Expressing phony or exaggerated grief for a tragic event that one wasn't really close to, in order to get attention or advance one's career. Coined by author Anna Shinoda.
When Michael Jackson passed away, you had every C-list celebrity in the universe on television, like, 'Oh, man, I was so moved!' and crying. I was disgusted by all that grief poaching.

"It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that? ... Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about practice. We're talking about practice man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about practice. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about practice right now. ... Hey I hear you, it's funny to me too, hey it's strange to me too but we're talking about practice man, we're not even talking about the game, when it actually matters, we're talking about practice ... How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?"

Get the we're talking about practice mug.Prachiti is an amazing girl that you'd come across. Prachiti is a sweet, quiet and kind person before you meet her, but when you get to know her she can be all that you can imagine. She has an amazing sense of humor that most people wont understand. Prachiti is beautiful and a great artist. She can sing, though she doesn't really like to share it. Her taste in music is unique than others. Her stare can bring a man to his knees. She may act secure with herself, but sometimes she has her bad days. She blushes at the smallest thing, which most boys find cutely adorable. When she develops a crush, it doesn't just go away. It grows, and it is hard for her to stop liking that person. Its like a fairytale for her, with she being the princess. Prachiti has many friends in both genders, and most "groups" (i.e., loners, popular, preppy). She can hold relationships for a long time, and most of the time its other people breaking her heart, instead of her breaking theirs. If you ever find a Prachiti, get her while you can, because you wont find another girl like this in a million years.
