plate

A “plate” (Platonic Date) is a planned date where the person doesn’t really expect anything romantic or serious to come out of it. It’s more of a casual meet-up out of curiosity, politeness, or even boredom. It carries a “no pressure” vibe, and the outcome is uncertain. A date can start as a “plate” and evolve into something more romantic or even into a “bate” if the chemistry shifts.

Emma: “So, you’re going on a date tonight?”
Leo: “Nah, not really. It’s just a plate. We’re grabbing a drink, but I don’t think there’s anything romantic there.”

Alex: “How was your date last night?”
Chris: “Eh, it was more of a plate than anything. We just talked and went home separately.”

Banging Plates

Banging Plates goes beyond a "Red herring", it's making noise about the red herring insisting that it is the one true interpretation, even if it's just a profitable misinterpretation. It is a psychological idea, creating a chaos where logical analysis becomes difficult; now fear shepherds one into going for the red herring even if with a calm mind he would never have taken that option. Many other hidden meanings, like "our plates are empty, so feed us by buying our silly commercial idea".

The snake oil salesman was banging plates to convince people to buy his medicinal product.
The Prime Minister advised people to go to the balcony and bang their plates to spread awareness about the need to wear masks.

Plate-feather parent

Parent who is woefully inadequate and ill-prepared for the duty of parenting for viable efficacy, and who, instead, liberally engages in the reproductive process for the sole purpose of ensuring that their progeny are made available for predatory activities, after the manner of domesticated hens and roosters...and human populations, who have historically experienced the collapse of their own societies, and now belong to another social organization, to which they have been forcibly associated, with hostile purpose.

The plate-feather parent viewed the son's emerging talent with a barely supressed anger, and so, used parental persuastion to induce the son to engage in a number of activities with the hope that the son would be brought to mortal ruin.

Jambinese number plate

"Jambinese number plate" is the slang term for "bra", as "BH" is code for Jambinese number plate. Whereas, this acronym "BH" (standing for "breast holder") is incidentally also the Indonesian word for "bra".

When she joked about her "Jambinese number plate", we all laughed because it was a clever play on words for her cute new bra!
