Get the pitted mug.Driving around in a small area (such as a parking lot). This is usually done because of lack of parking spaces or lack of desirable parking spaces. Often used while waiting to pick somebody up or for a parking space to become available.
Derived from: Aviation term. A repetitive route flown by an aircraft which keeps it in the same area. A holding pattern is used when an aircraft (commonly a commercial airliner) cannot land at an airport, often simply because there are no available runways. In this circumstance, the aircraft will enter a holding pattern while it awaits its turn to land.
It is believed that this term, used in the automotive context, was first used by Steve Packard, however, if anyone else has used this term previously to describe driving in cirles, feel free to post.

When I dropped Mike off to pick up the pizza, there were no good parking spaces, so I went into a holding pattern until he came out.
I didn’t want to double park while waiting for Sue to come out of the store, so I went into a holding pattern, driving around the block until I saw her emerge.

Get the HARRY POTTER mug.Someone who is litterally obsessed with all concepts of Harry Potter. Usually, they have read all of the books at LEAST three times, they read/write fanfictions to it, and all thoughts are centered around it. Some even masturbate to Harry Potter and it's characters...
"Dude, what the hell are you doing?"
"Reading the fifth Harry Potter book."
"You are such a Harry Potter Fag!"
"So? hey, do you know where the lotion is...?"

Get the Harry Potter Fag mug.People who don't know anything about the process of a book to film adaptation. Clueless and idiotic "fans" who slate the Harry Potter films because they are "not like the books." These people fail to recognise that books and films are entirely separate mediums and entities.
They often resort to hating the director, not taking into account that there are other people involved in the filmmaking process, including the writers and WB Studios who place pressure on the team to adapt source material from a 700 page novel into a 2.5 hour film with budget constraints.
Potter purists lack any knowledge and common sense; they moan and whine about the slightest change, cut and/or addition in the films and are ignorant to the fact that such changes are necessary for the benefit of cinematic style and substance.
They also do not rate a film on its cinematic structure (EG editing, cinematography, pacing, score etc...) but on how much it was like the book.
Basically, they are generally a group of ungrateful haters, which Jo Rowling would be extremely ashamed to call "fans".
