paper architect

Someone whose work is purely theoretical, having never come to fruition, or has never been exemplified by anything in the real world.

"He was a tenured professor of architecture—a position buttressed by his renown as a 'paper architect.'
That is to say, he was an esteemed architect whose reputation rested on his designs, rather than on the buildings constructed from them."
—Asterios Polyp, by David Mazzucchelli

paperview

The misspelling of the term pay-per-view.
Or maybe that's what our paper overlords want you to think.

Jimmy: "I can't pay for premium cable, so we'll have to deal with pay-per-view..."
Matt: "Paperview? Already?! Technology has come too far! We're all being watched! My notebook isn't going to kill me in my sleep if I can help it!"
Jimmy: "Dude."
Matt: "What?!"
Jimmy: "Dude. Pay, per view. Pay for each view? The payment system on TV!"
Matt: "Oh. ..Sooo, no paper rebellion?"
Jimmy: "Nope, not today anyway."
Matt: "Oh."

paperwork

Court documents revealing what a prisoner's charges, criminal history, downward departures, etc. are. This is used to determine whether a person is a snitch, child molestor, or other kind of person considered undesirable by other prisoners. The Presentence Investigation Report is the gold standard of paperwork, because it tells everything that the probation officer was able to dig up about the prisoner's life, and details any assistance he may have rendered to the government; but prisoners are often forbidden to have it in their possession for that exact reason. At higher security prisons, people are often expected to show their paperwork within a certain period of time (e.g. a week or a month) or they'll be checked in to protective custody by their fellow prisoners.

Paper Mario: The Origami King

The latest instance of the Mushroom Kingdom’s Toad infestation, TTYD fans grow ever more enraged with the lack of unique characters. In this one, you save the world from an edge lord with an inflated ego.

Fans of the original Paper Mario trilogy tend to be conflicted by the release of Paper Mario: The Origami King
