Piratician 

The original etymological root word for the modernized term = Politician.

The profession and practice of willingly engaging in relationships, behaviors, affairs and deceitful tactics for the purpose of self promotion/gain/sexual gratification through profiteering, theft, criminal enterprising and the cloaked instantiation of illicit/fraudulent activities without regard for harm, impairment and/or disability inflicted upon others.

{Background and Context}
Upon return from a research expedition in the aboriginal territory of Korkycow Australia, Dr. Chris Culvitude of Copenhagen delivered a lexicon postulate based on revelations from ancient scrolls and audio-phonic linguistic interpretations stemming from his interactions with the Hunterbiden Microcock Pygmalion Tribe. Dr. Culvitude was attempting to decode a scroll illustrating a smiling, garment rich man holding the heart of another person standing nearby, when a bitter feisty, belly scourged Pygmy pointed at the picture, clearly anunciating the word "Pirat-ician" with a heavy oriental accent. Dr. Culvitude phoned his partner Dr. Kevin Michael Damone of this revelation wherein it would serve as proof of Culvitudes conjecture on the transcontinental, English modernization and pronunciation of "Politician" which actually evolved from the Latin word "Pirata" combined with "ician", or "Piratician".
"Dr. Damone, the Pygmy chief clearly said the word "Piratician" when trying to tell me about how a once friendly tribe deceived them, took their food reserves, fingered our Matriarchs and returned with an affect of innocence as if nary an expression of remorse."

piratism 

The act of pirating the high (and low) seas. Also can be applied to the act of pirating interstate highways.

Not to be confused with piracy, which is merely stealing music from already-rich musicians, who really shouldn't get their panties in a bundle because someone downloaded one of their songs to see if they actually wanted to buy their crappy music.
To increase their bank accounts, Christian, Evan, and Michael were forced to result to interstate piratism in order to better-fuel their thirst for exotic cars.

Pirating 

The best and worst thing. For us, it's the BEST thing; for the people that made it, it's the WORST thing.
Pirating is when you download a game, movie, music, porn, etc. for free (illegally) and basically is claimed to be "stealing". But if you actually robbed a DVD out of a store, it ain't there anymore because it's with you. But if you pirated a DVD, it's still gonna be there AND on your computer.

For me, pirating is the best thing if you are:
1) Too lazy to get a part-time job as a teen
2) Broke as hell
3) Never in a mood to buy a movie
Mordecai: Dude, why are you pirating that movie? It just came out.
Rigby: Because, why buy it, if you can get for FREEEEE?

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
