parkticipate

Visitor participation in the continuing upkeep of local parks to keep park entry fees from increasing.

Jill: "What's up with the trash bag?"

Jack: "I thought I'd 'parkticipate' while we take our morning walk at Spring Lake. It's my way of giving back so that park fees stay level.

Jill: "You always do the right thing Jack, and I'm thinking that since this an example sentence for Urban Dictionary, I should probably 'give back', too, by offering you some sort of bizarre sexual favor that will, of course, be described in explicit detail."

Jack: "You're too classy for that Jill. Plus, you don't want to contribute to the devolution of what could have been a smart, bleeding edge, relevant website."

Jill: "True. So, how about handing me a trash bag, and I'll 'parkticipate', too."

Jack: "That's my girl!"

participation award

A "reward" one gets for merely participating. Although usually given with good intentions, more often than not it will remind the owner that he failed, and that his best is not good enough.

"Congratulations, here's a participation award, for doing your best!"
"...because apparently my best isn't good enough to actually win something."

Participation Trophy Wife

A "trophy wife" in the sense that we now live in a society where everyone gets a trophy. She's certainly not first, second, or even third place.

She is not even close to hot enough to be called a trophy wife - at best she's a participation trophy wife.

participation trophy

A trophy that is awarded, usually to a child, simply for participating. It is based upon the idea that this will enhance their self-esteem and somehow make them better adults. Despite the fact that there is absolutely no empirical evidence to support this idea, the trophies continue to be awarded. These children ultimately become young adults who can't quite understand why employers in the real world do not share their exalted vision of themselves. Disillusioned and bitter, with plenty of time on their hands, many participated in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Ironically, no trophies were awarded for participation in this event.

Let's show Dillon how much we love him by awarding him a participation trophy for doing absolutely nothing.
