painticipation

The brief stretch of time between the instant you hurt yourself, and the instant actually feel the pain. During painticipation, you know you've hurt yourself and you are anticipating the arrival of the pain.

I stubbed my toe on the foot of the table and bit my lip during painticipation to prepare for the pain.

participation award

A "reward" one gets for merely participating. Although usually given with good intentions, more often than not it will remind the owner that he failed, and that his best is not good enough.

"Congratulations, here's a participation award, for doing your best!"
"...because apparently my best isn't good enough to actually win something."

Panticipation

Panticipation: When you're cuddling with a girl fully clothed and you pitch a huge fucking tent. She must know its there and you must know she knows it there.

So there we were, cuddling, and there was some serious fucking panticipation. Whats sucks is that i was wearing basketball shorts.

Participation Trophy Wife

A "trophy wife" in the sense that we now live in a society where everyone gets a trophy. She's certainly not first, second, or even third place.

She is not even close to hot enough to be called a trophy wife - at best she's a participation trophy wife.

participation trophy

A trophy that is awarded, usually to a child, simply for participating. It is based upon the idea that this will enhance their self-esteem and somehow make them better adults. Despite the fact that there is absolutely no empirical evidence to support this idea, the trophies continue to be awarded. These children ultimately become young adults who can't quite understand why employers in the real world do not share their exalted vision of themselves. Disillusioned and bitter, with plenty of time on their hands, many participated in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Ironically, no trophies were awarded for participation in this event.

Let's show Dillon how much we love him by awarding him a participation trophy for doing absolutely nothing.
