Pathobait

A form of baiting based entirely on Patholighting—gaslighting someone about their own mental state, psychological health, or cognitive functioning. The Pathobaiter doesn't just disagree; they convince the target that their own mind is unreliable, that their perceptions are distorted, that their reactions are pathological. "You're overreacting," "That's not what happened, you're misremembering," "You're being paranoid," "Your trauma is making you see things that aren't there." The goal is to destabilize, to make the target doubt their own reality, to position the baiter as the sane one and the target as the broken one. Pathobait is gaslighting with a clinical veneer, manipulation masquerading as concern, control dressed as care.

"I confronted someone about a pattern of hurtful behavior. Pathobait response: 'I think your childhood trauma is making you see hostility where there isn't any. You're projecting your father issues onto me. Have you considered that your emotional reactions aren't based on reality?' They didn't address my concerns—they pathologized them. My valid feelings became evidence of my brokenness. That's Pathobait—your mind against you, weaponized."

Patholitical Liar

Saying or doing anything to further your political career esp. When there's no truth involved.

Hillary is such a patholitical liar, she told us for a year there was nothing classified or wrong with her emails on her private server, the FBI investigation showed that this was false.

Pathebrity

A person who doesn't realize that their 15 minutes are already over. Often used to describe former cast members from reality tv shows who go on to write books or market a new fragrance line.

We learned in school today that Darva Conger was the nation's first true pathebrity.

Megalos Pathomai

Banned Yu-Gi-Oh καρτα και ο μεγαλύτερος Γύπας στην Ιστορία. Αφήνει όλες τις θηλυκές κάρτες στο πεδίο έγκυος με το βλέμμα του. Κάθε γύρο που δεν επιτίθεται πεινάει και τρώει μια spell/trap κάρτα στο πεδίο, ξεκινώντας με του αντιπάλου. Εάν φάει trap card παθαίνει κόψιμο και πάει για χέσιμο 3 γύρους. Άμα δεν υπάρχει καμία trap/spell κάρτα στο πεδίο αρχίζει να τρώει τις κάρτες στο πεδίο σου.

Yugi: "ΚΑΛΩ ΤΟΝ ΜΕΓΑΛΟ ΠΑΘΟΜΑΙ!"

Megalos Pathomai: "Big Patho στο πεδίο μάγκες, φέρτε τις κοπέλες γιατί θα τρελαθώ."
