Get the Peirastic mug.The original etymological root word for the modernized term = Politician.
The profession and practice of willingly engaging in relationships, behaviors, affairs and deceitful tactics for the purpose of self promotion/gain/sexual gratification through profiteering, theft, criminal enterprising and the cloaked instantiation of illicit/fraudulent activities without regard for harm, impairment and/or disability inflicted upon others.
{Background and Context}
Upon return from a research expedition in the aboriginal territory of Korkycow Australia, Dr. Chris Culvitude of Copenhagen delivered a lexicon postulate based on revelations from ancient scrolls and audio-phonic linguistic interpretations stemming from his interactions with the Hunterbiden Microcock Pygmalion Tribe. Dr. Culvitude was attempting to decode a scroll illustrating a smiling, garment rich man holding the heart of another person standing nearby, when a bitter feisty, belly scourged Pygmy pointed at the picture, clearly anunciating the word "Pirat-ician" with a heavy oriental accent. Dr. Culvitude phoned his partner Dr. Kevin Michael Damone of this revelation wherein it would serve as proof of Culvitudes conjecture on the transcontinental, English modernization and pronunciation of "Politician" which actually evolved from the Latin word "Pirata" combined with "ician", or "Piratician".

"Dr. Damone, the Pygmy chief clearly said the word "Piratician" when trying to tell me about how a once friendly tribe deceived them, took their food reserves, fingered our Matriarchs and returned with an affect of innocence as if nary an expression of remorse."

Get the pIasticknives mug.pIasticknives (originally peace0love0happyness), is a famous roblox developer. After leaving the ROBLOX drag scene, piasticknives went to find a new community to join. Rising high in the ROBLOX modelling & fashion scene, pIasticknives began developing, scripting, and animating games. While developing, plastic made some socialite friends (such as PlasticMother, SHlRIN, Cyhera, and many more). After gaining a following of 1600, plastic began making revenue. With this new money, they bought multiple limiteds including Ms. Scarlet.
The Allure scandal is the separation of Cyhera and Plastic. Cyhera (owner of allure) and pIasticknives (owner of erulla) became close friends in the summer of 2017. Years later, they recognized themselves in the modelling scene and decided to team up. Plastic would animate and script, and Cyhera would build. After a year in business, Cyhera demanded Plastic for free animations and pIasticknives declined. This ultimately lead to the downfall of their friendship.
Today, pIasticknives is mostly offline however recently they have been seen working on a project in Studio.
