paraglider 

Implys both a steerable rectangular multi celled directional device constructed of ripstop nylon generating lift, and a harness which the pilot sets in while flying.

Pilots lays out rectangular wing on ground facing prevailing wind usally on a ridge or mountain. Straps into harness attached to wing by 72 independent high strength lines. Foot launches into wind when wing is fully inflated. Paragliders can fly for over a hundred miles on one flight!

Peruvian Paraglider 

The art of spreading your significant others cheeks while you peform the helicopter in their genetalia so fast you create lift and glide in the air while the pee pee is doing the helicopter thingy, you then release your explosive diarrhea all over the bed to make the peruvian mountains.

Peruvian Paraglider Yo bro, i did the Peruvian Paragilder on my mans ethan last night and now he needs surgery.

Rainbow Paraglider Brigade 

A term for members of the LGBTQ+ community who sympathize with Islamic Fundamentalist groups such as Hamas , Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

After October 7th, this gay man that I know named John started posting the most vile things cheering on the actions of Hamas. He is a member of the Rainbow Paraglider Brigade.

Rainbow Paraglider Brigade 

Members of the LGBTQ+ community who sympathize with and support the actions of Islamic Fundamentalist groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis; often with blissful disregard for the fact that these groups oppress LGBTQ+ people in their societies. Members of the Rainbow Paraglider Brigade will often support causes that are disgraceful to human dignity.

After the October 7th Attacks, this gay man I know named John started posting the most vile things in support of the actions of Hamas. He is a member of the Rainbow Paraglider Brigade.

Paralizer 

A delicious alcoholic beverage:
Tall Glass, filled with ice,
1 shot Vodka,
1 shot Kahlua
Coke-a-cola almost to the top,
And a dollop of Milk.
Sounds gross, tastes delicious!

"Why do they call them Paralizer's? I drank six of them and could still walk!"

para-glider 

World ParaGliding Association has para-glider as a gliding kite where the "mooring" is let to fall by the attraction of gravity while the kite line is tensed against the kiting action of the the wing or wings. A para-glider was first first describe functionally in 1896 concerning an 1895 incident of a fugitive set of wings called parakites were coupled by a single tether; the lower wing acted as the resistive mooring to the upper wing; together the para-glider flew a long distance and glided down eventually. See book by Woglom called Parakites which is fully online available for reading.

Paragliders used in radio-controlled scale modelling are para-gliders, sometimes powered and sometimes not powered. Also, huge industrial para-gliders or paragliders are used. See Atair Insect for an example. Then there are the manned hang gliders that are gliding kites with one or more tethers as the kite lines to the wing coupled to the payload or pod to carry a mass of stuff or robot or engine or human pilot ...many choices.

Paragliding 

Paragliding is the use of a paraglider; that is, the activity of using the three-part gliding kite (wing, lines, resistive assembly). Paragliding may be done with unmanned or manned resistive assembly. Scale modelers and special mission paragliding may use tiny paragliders without man or woman aboard. Industrial paragliding may use smart remote-controlled or programmed robots to control the paraglider; such paragliding fulfills missions like photography, goods delivery, personnel placement, etc. The wing may fit purpose and mission and be fully limp or fully solid or semi-solid with as much rigid structure as needed for success of mission. Sport paragliding may define private classes of wing types, but that does not rule what is possible with machine paraglider. A solid and fully rigid wing may supply paraglider for specialized paragliding.

Scale modelers do scale-modelling paragliding with small paragliders; this is done in several variations. One variation is a toss and slope soar model with radio-control of devices on the paraglider, perhaps the resistive subassembly has aerodynamic surfaces; or a control unit works the lengths of the kite lines in the free-flight.

Large-scale industrial paragliding includes the use of large paragliders that feature resistive subassemblies holding fuel or goods.
