When you're being chased by a ghost in Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man and you quickly turn around after thinking you ate a Power Pellet, just to find out you didn't eat it. You end up losing a life.

This happens more in the higher speed levels because you try to eat the Power Pellet and then eat ghosts as fast as possible.

Premature Paculation DOES NOT refer to the wasting of Power Pellets

Dude: HEY! How come you just ran into that ghost on purpose?

Guy: I didn't mean to, it was Premature Paculation.

Dude: Oh, what's that?

Guy: I thought I went far enough to eat the Power Pellet but i turned around too quickly and the ghost wasn't edible.

Premature Rejectulation

When a user submits a new word and definition to Urban Dictionary and the volunteer editors who happen to review the submission lack intelligence, understanding and/or a sense of humour therefore end up prematurely rejecting spectacularly humorous submissions.

Editor - "A few volunteer editors read your definition and decided to not publish it. Don't take it personally"

Disappointed user - "Damn it, premature Rejectulation again!"

premature redecoration

Premature Redecoration: Putting up holiday decorations WAY too early.

The day after Halloween as she was taking down {holiday] decorations of ghosts and pumpkins, she put up her Christmas decorations. It's only November first and this is the worst case of premature redecoration I have seen- she skipped right over Thanksgiving!

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.

caillou

A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.

Example 1:
“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
