Based on the brand Patagonia, a word used to describe their (arguably) overpriced clothing brand that is meant for outdoor activities, and is very useful and effective for such. Although many people still wear it for camping, hiking, and such, it has been largely taken over by people in Finance/Medicine/Computer Science who have recently landed high-paying jobs. Many companies also provide their jackets/vests or other clothing with their logos to their employees. Due to this, it has become a known unwritten uniform to many company's employees.
Example 1:
Man, I just got a bag of stuff for landing a job at (insert big finance firm/hospital/Tech Company)! Hmm, I got a folder with some brochures, some crappy pens, a yeti mug with the company logo on it, and a Patagucci vest. Time to wear it 24/7, at work or in public!
The finest, chicest brand of outdoor gear available. It's prices reflect the chic nature, urban-outdoor friendliness and fabulous color schemes that Yvon Chouinard's Patagonia company produces. A fave among the yoga-girl set. They are really nice clothes. Look for the web special on the site.
My Solar Green White Smoke Patagucci jacket keeps me safe and protected from the elements when I stride out every morning to walk the dog.
A complete and utter devotee to Patagonia clothing. Many times, they will denounce all other clothing(not just the outdoorsy syles) and wear Patagonia head to toe.
John has only worn Patagonia gear for years, he is a major Patagoniac.
A parasitic type of hipster from a more "well to do" background of overly healthy living. Known for taking over once quiet, older, urban neighborhoods and shopping districts. They typically push the previous inhabitants out, replacing their tattoo and record shops with art bars and health food markets.Defining features include overpriced activewear and jogging strollers.
"We used to spend a lot more time on southBroadway before the Patagonians moved down here."
The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.
The frothability was evident as over-zealous consumers eagerly engaged in bidding wars, drivingproperty prices to unsustainable levels reminiscent of previous speculative bubbles.
A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.
"That guy's a soul digger. He'll expect you to work full time, but you'll be doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, and childcare while he plays video games or watches TV."
A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.
Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
