A Patia is a unique, but simple name for an awesome person. The name originated from an ancient Greek scholar, Hypatia. With this origin Patias tend to be intelligent women in the academic world; however they also excel in social situations and build strong friendships. They are kind and will always have your back. Patias are the people you call when you need a shoulder to cry on or kick butt with. Also will excel in the art of debate. Note: Patias, though sweet, may often be trained ninjas; angering one such patia or a friend of one may result in a near death experience.

Based on the brand Patagonia, a word used to describe their (arguably) overpriced clothing brand that is meant for outdoor activities, and is very useful and effective for such. Although many people still wear it for camping, hiking, and such, it has been largely taken over by people in Finance/Medicine/Computer Science who have recently landed high-paying jobs. Many companies also provide their jackets/vests or other clothing with their logos to their employees. Due to this, it has become a known unwritten uniform to many company's employees.
Example 1:
Man, I just got a bag of stuff for landing a job at (insert big finance firm/hospital/Tech Company)! Hmm, I got a folder with some brochures, some crappy pens, a yeti mug with the company logo on it, and a Patagucci vest. Time to wear it 24/7, at work or in public!

"When the new teacher snubbed me, I thought it was because I failed the test.
When I learned the teacher hadn't seen me, I realized I had been thinking in pataphor, creating an assumption based on an assumption."

"Because string theory is speculation based on ideas that are themselves speculative (i.e., theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics), quantum calculations are, increasingly, not describing an actual reality, but are mathematical pataphors." See also pataphysics.
