A brand name brass pipe designed to smoke various types of herbs, leaves etc... it is noted for having removable components and a built-in screen which is a few strategically drilled holes and mini chambers in the bowl allowing air flow without allowing particulates over a certain size to reach the mouthpiece. The various components are designed to assist in the cleaning, smoking, preparation, protection etc..
It has a unique look compared to other types of pipes, making it easily recognizable by its brass polished base and black tipped mouthpiece. Off brand knock offs are common, they are easily distinguished from the brand name version by lack of engraved manufacturer name etc...
Due to the nature of the 'built in screen' design, a proto pipe that is not cleaned will become clogged with tar. A removable tar trap is located at the base of the bowl to keep the tar away from the screen and mouthpiece. In a "standard" pipe screens become clogged with tar and need to be replaced. Although the airway can become clogged as well in a normal pipe, the proto pipe's primary advantage is the simplicity in diagnosing any blockage and cleaning it with the steel poker.
Because the pipe is mostly constructed of brass it does not easily become hot to the touch like pipes constructed of other metals, or even glass pipes.
The proto pipe lacks the 'trippy' or themed design of many other types of smoking pipes, eschewing that motif in favor of an aesthetic that is more industrial grade in appearance, and feel.

A man who is desperate and obsessed for women even if they are a bad person or after they have already expressed their disinterest in him. However, unlike a simp, he wont do everything for her.
Example 1: a simp will buy a $3000 dollar ring to appease his crush.
However protosimp wants to appease his crush, but realizes $3000 is kind of a stupid amount of money. He opts for a $200 ring instead.
Example 2: A simp is submissive and obsesses over a girl even after she treats him like dirt or keeps telling him she isn’t interested. He will buy her Dunkins everyday with his own money and she won’t even say thanks.
A protosimp is still stupidly obsessed with his crush, however, he understands buying his crush Dunkins everyday with his own money isn’t really worth the time—unless his crush provided him with money he may decide to pick it up for her.

a hard-to-classify group of bands and performers who laid the foundation for and inspired punk rock's development in the mid-1970s. These acts sported tough guy looks, rebellious attitudes, the longest hair in the neighborhood, sometimes simple 3-chord arrangements and/or feedback and garage band aesthetics. Some of these acts were called "punk rock" by critics in the late 60s and early 70s. That label later was applied to later bands of the mid-70s, starting with the Ramones. Elvis Presley may be the original "proto-punk" rocker. He wore denim and leather, wore his hair long for the 50s, swiveled his hips provacatively, rode motorcycles, sneered when he sang, and more. The term "proto-punk" wasn't used until after punk itself came into its own.
Here are some examples of proto-punk acts:
The Kinks
The Who
Velvet Underground
The Stooges
The MC5
? and the Mysterians
The Seeds
New York Dolls
Roxy Music
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Rolling Stones
... and many more.

The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Ending in the History of Shitposters, or the Proto Route.
A Proto Route is the unfortunate series of events that follow reckless attempts (Usually made by a shitposter of lesser taste) at capturing their waifu's heart. Patient Zero, Proto, first experienced the Proto Route in the visual novel Katawa Shoujo where he died multiple times after consistently choosing foolishly when attempting to be suave. The event has since inspired shitposters to heed warnings from weebs of a more refined taste.

4. In a larger and more general context, a Trustafarian is someone who lives off of a trust-fund or off of rental income from property that he/she inherited. In previous centuries certain rich kids received stipends or allowences from their parents to live a cultured life (usually before settling down while looking for a suitable spouse, and later getting a sinecure in the family business) without actually working for it, those could be now called proto-trustafarians. Anyone who livess off of income he/she hasn't actually earned and keeps it quiet is a Trustafarian, who may in fact be, and often is a decendant of proto-trustifarians.
John's not only a trustifarian, he comes from a long line of proto-trustifarians, in the last 100 years the family has worked for maybe a year.
