Practicide

The act of practicing a technique, or a portion of an overarching strategy, repeatedly without the expectation of success; often resulting in failure or death. A portmanteau of "practice" and "suicide", reserved primarily for difficult gaming mechanics.

Friend: You should try The Gauntlet in Prifddinas.

Me: I just did, but I'm having trouble keeping up with all the mechanics of the bossfight. I'm just going to practicide and get used to them one at a time, I've got to get this down eventually...

Pasticide

A term evolved after a conversation between two lovers discussing the unwanted resurgence of one of their ex partners; who seemingly simply refuses to go away. 'Pasticide' describes the feeling of frustration for the person who ended the relationship; but still must deal with their ex partner's presence in their life. It represents the inability to get rid of something toxic in your life from the past and the affect it has on the individual dealing with it.

Everytime he's around it's like walking into a toxic mist from the past; like a pasticide.

Follow your own damn advice!

When a woman's Facebook post talks about respecting yourself to leave a man who cheats....yet she is sexting another woman's man....tell this bitch to, "Practice what you preach!"

we're talking about practice

1.) A discussion focused on trivial matters, not related to the big picture
2.) A meaningless exchange
3.) A downplay of a criticism of oneself

"It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about practice. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that? ... Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about practice. We're talking about practice man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We're not talking about the game. We're talking about practice. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you've seen me play right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about practice right now. ... Hey I hear you, it's funny to me too, hey it's strange to me too but we're talking about practice man, we're not even talking about the game, when it actually matters, we're talking about practice ... How the hell can I make my teammates better by practicing?"
