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.

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.”
