Without or not near to anyone else; on one's own; all alone. Shortened from the Australian rhyming slang "on one's Pat Malone," referring to a ballad about an Irishman called Pat Malone, who suffered numerous misfortunes after emigrating to Australia. Primarily heard in Australia. Mary's been on her pat ever since Rupert broke up with her last week.

To be quite honest, after a hectic week of work, I much prefer having a drink on my pat than being around a bunch of people.
老实说,工作繁忙的一周后,我更喜欢有我的拍拍不是被周围一堆人喝一杯。
