The opposite of a hopeless romantic. The hopeful romantic is someone who loves the idea of love, but also lives in the real world. They see the world as full of possibilities to find their love. They know that they will find someone to love, or may have already found that someone. They see the world optimistically because they know from experience that things are pretty good. Hopeful romantics take their time, don't rush into things and, instead, play the field.

"I love Ben Lee's music. He's such a hopeful romantic."

Person 1: "Dude, you've been single for six months. Why are you so happy?"
Person 2: "What can I say? I'm a hopeful romantic."

Hopeful Pud

A sex move named after the time Pud tried to marathon Superman 64, glitched on the last level and got stuck in a wall. A 'Hopeful Pud' occurs when during sex, you freeze up just before finishing, and are unable to continue.

Man 1: "I was nailing this really hot bird last night, until I pulled a Hopeful Pud."
Man 2: "You froze up again, didn't you? I've told you to get that looked at."

hopeful bullshit

An abstract plan with positive intentions that is publicized from high-level executives and never ever actually gets a green light to be implemented by anyone. But everyone uses it to avoid doing extra work on the platform.

The micro fixes that normally would be pushed to the customer-facing system are on hold due to the hopeful bullshit.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
