A saint is:
1. a Christian who has lived a holy life in God's service which should serve as an example to other Christians
2. one who is declared by the Catholic church, through the process of canonization, to be in heaven
Because saints are in heaven and in good grace with God, Christians, especially Catholics, ask these saints to intercede for them in prayer to God. (This is not worship of the saint!) Due to the nature of each saint's life on earth, he or she is likely to take up certain causes, which are said to be that saint's patronage.
In short, a patron saint is a holy person in heaven who prays for those in certain situations on earth. Which situations are assigned to each saint is decided by the aspects of the saints' earthly lives.

1. St. Joseph is the patron saint of families because he was the patriarch of the Holy Family.
2. St. Mary is the patron saint of the Americas because of the apparition of Our Lady at Guadeloupe.

Satirical phrase of "To protect and serve". Half of violent crimes go unsolved and police are worried about non violent pot smokers who want nothing more than to be left alone and have the freedom to put whatever the hell they want in their own body.
Cops should have "To patronize and harass" on their cars when they are more worried about pot smokers than violent offenders.

When a female can't orgasm because she drank too much alcohol. The shortened term "PP" may also be used. (Female version of whiskey dick).
He was fuckin me so good but I couldn't finish cause I had patron pussy.
I wish I didn't drink that much last night, he was hot as fuck and had a nice dick but I had the PP.

The act of planting the first bullet of your spray, directly to your opponent's face, whilst bunny hopping. Usually happens when players meet unexpectedly and the other one is bunny hopping. Derived from words "bunnyhop" (bannu) and "bullet" (patron).
This word originated from Counter-Strike:Global Offensive.
