Someone who participates in the act of Pastavism: participation in a social or political movement by only copying and pasting content that has not been validated and is written by someone else who is unknown by the pastavist.
"Did you see that Marry posted another stupid comment that she clearly didn't write? She is such a pastavist."
Passive activists. They frequent facebook and other social media sites to complain about the world's problems, but don't actually do anything about it. They form groups such as "anonymous" to discretely bitch online towards someone else without someone getting pinned with blame. Mostly internet trolls who have too much time on their hands.
I saw Maggie on fb posted an article about how Obama isn't taking action on the fight against Ebola. Straight up pactivist.
While activists take action to campaign against injustice or environmental issues, passivists do their bit to contribute to society by recycling the odd empty Coke can, or 'liking' a campaign page on Facebook.
They often think of themselves as better than the rest of the world because of this.
13 year old girl: "OMG! I liked a page on Facebook which says that cancer should be cured! I'm such a teen passivist!"
Person 1: "I've given up eating bacon for a week because the way the meat industry works is wrong. From Monday to Friday, I'm only eating beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and fish. Why aren't YOU doing your bit to help the world?"
Person 2: "Shut up, you're only a mere passivist, you have no right to tell me what to do."
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
