Love slang

My friends have developed relationship slang over the years. A few of my favorite (and most frequently used) terms are:

* a deep & meaningful = a serious talk about the relationship's future.
* the slow fade = letting a relationship die out by slowly stopping contact, versus having a talk about it.
* the long, dirty road = breaking up but continuing to sleep together.

What relationships slang do you have, dear readers?

  1. The good old RDT - Relationship Defining Talk - the inevitable discussion about Where This Is Going.

  2. the NCMO- verb. "nick moe" an acronym for the Non Committal Make Out. "She really doesn't care for Barnard, but she was way into the NCMO."

    The M.R.S.- verb. an acronym for a woman who attends/hangs out at a college or university for the sole purpose of 'earning' her "Mrs." "Prudence is over at the Vanderhoosen Law Library tonight; she's hoping to land an attorney along with her M.R.S. degree."

    An Elevator or Mr. Otis- noun. A person, usually male, who has a habit of quickly ditching his latest flame and acquiring as much of her possessions as possible. "Ted gave Carolyn the 'shaft' in court; he's such an elevator." "Mr. Otis forgot to send his child support again this month."

  4. The Groundhog.
    As in Punxatawny Phil. The guy who is all into you and then gets "scared" and jumps back into his groundhog home.

  6. DTR= determining the relationship.
    Are you guys still casual or have you had the DTR?

    Shacking= spending the night
    I shacked with Billy last night.

    Shack Pack= a bag packed for an intentional night of shacking.
    I totally forgot to put my make up in my shack pack.

    Walk of Shame= having to go home or anywhere else after a night of shacking.
    I had to do the walk of shame after shacking at Billy's.

    Autopilot=heart not really in the relationship.
    I mean, for the last 2 months I have just been on autopilot.

    I could go on and on. :)

  7. i will say...

    we got "down and dirty" when we have a big serious talk.

    "the wine guy" for a bad date. My friends has an infamous story with "the wine guy" so he is a stand in for all hilariousness now.

  8. "down and dirty" for a serious talk.

    "the wine guy" as a lame date guy, based on an infamously bad date a friend had with the "wine guy"

    "one of those" for the guy who is super cute and nice but zilch on the chemistry scale

  11. The Ick = that feeling that comes over you when the crush wears off. Once you have it, there is no saving the relationship.

  17. my american friend has a couple of sweet ones -
    a benchwarmer: a guy you love sitting and talking to all night but not sure if he's a friend or something more.

    a profile guy: has a great profile but not so good face on!

    one of my sister's faves was: nice from far but far from nice!

    " progressive home insurance "


    Excellent information and facts. Only real difficulty I was basically receiving was viewing the pics. No idea exactly why.

    I agree, for the most part, but don’t you feel as if the issue is more complex than that?
