Pelled

The frustrating experience of pedestrian traffic being slowed to a crawl by the elderly. Most commonly used in supermarket aisles, narrow sidewalks, and amusement park walkways.

Origin - In 1998, Senator Claiborne Pell (Rhode Island Senator, 1961 - 1997) and his wife Nuala caused the largest pedestrian backup in the history of Providence, RI when they decided to take a geriatric stroll through the streets of the East Side. The frail politician probably never noticed the hoards of people behind him, stretching for dozens of city blocks.

"I really thought I could buy some Jello and get home in time for American Idol, but I got Pelled at the Stop and Shop.

Peted

Peted (verb) – To get unintentionally screwed over in commonly positive situations, often times more than once. When a genuine action results in negative consequences.

After waiting in line at Best Buy since 5 am for the new Nintendo Wii, I was totally Peted when the Geek Squad cut in front of me and took the last one.

Friend #1: “Hey man, how did the date go?” Friend #2 reply “great until I got Peted when our server at Bennigan’s happened to be her ex-boyfriend”
