PDA stands for “pits, dick and ass.” A PDA is a type of shower you take when you are short on time. When in a rush, one only has enough time to wash the essentials.
“Hey Greg, I’m hopping in the shower before we leave.”
“We’re going to be late, you’re going to need to take a PDA.”

PDA is an acronym for Public Display of Affection, common in teenagers and very annoying for everyone who is not involved.
*Sam and Alexandra making out*
Person 3: Can you guys stop with the PDA, we don't want to see it
Alexandra: Well maybe you're just jealous that you're single and I'm not
*Sam and Alexandra undress*

Public Displays of Affection

Basically any physical (hugging,kissing,holding hands,groping,etc) interactions (except for sex of any kind) in public, most of the time around sad single people that don't wanna see that shit.
Cory and Tonya: *making out*

Me: Can you guys tone it down the PDA's a bit? You guys have only been dating for like two days.

PDA-heavy 

- too much PDA

A PDA-heavy couple shows a bit too much PDA (Public Display of Affection), and even enjoys people's attention on them.

- The word PDA stands for Public Display of Affection, which describes couples or friends who display much affection in public.
Lindsay and her new girlfriend have earned the title of America's most PDA-heavy celebrity couple.

PDA (Pathetic Displays of Affection) 

To those who thought there couldn't be worse than that couple slobbering noisily all over each other centimetres from your own face at rush hour on the tube (Public Displays of Affection) - think again.

There's always Pathetic Displays of Affection. These usually occur when one or both parties is irretrievably inebriated. Sometimes followed by convenient memory loss the morning after the night before and/or heavy regret and shame felt by one or both parties.

Almost without fail intoxication-related, Pathetic Displays of Affection can be physical or virtual - in which case, thanks to the miracle of modern technology, they can take the various but inevitably excruciating forms of drunken dialling, texting or even, more permanently so, emailing and instant messaging.
Pedro, spare us all the PDA (Pathetic Displays of Affection) and the ensuing wingeing phone call to me about how mortified you are. There is no world in which it's a good idea to tell this Madeleine girl you just met at the bar that you want to marry her and impregnate her shortly afterwards. Even if she IS a hot blonde blue-eyed Swede.
