POTATO
an acronym for People Over Thirty Acting Twenty-one Online. On dating sites, chatrooms and social network, a potato will often present himself or herself as younger than his or her actual age.
Jess is a second-year university student who met a cute guy online. His profile picture looked like Bradley Cooper, and he was listed as twenty-two years old. When she met him in person, he was almost forty and looked very different from his picture. She found a real POTATO.
