I was asked to write about this awhile ago, but I was thinking about it as I was eating my dinner awkwardly over the kitchen sink (MLISA) and become re-inspired.
These are terms used by my girlfriends, who are my age, vulgar, and scattered across the East Coast -- used in the dating/hooking up/birds-and-the-bees context. Some were left in College and not brought to the real world; some are still used daily.
1) Repeat Offender: A boy who you've already "got it on" with in the past; usually the past history is used to assuage any guilt felt after a more recent rekindling.
Mary: Did you guys, ya know, do it?
Sheila: Yeah, but it doesn't really count -- he's a repeat offender.
2) Supercrush: Self-explanatory. One may have multiple crushes, but only one Supercrush, and no two friends can have the same Supercrush.
"We are having a party this Thursday just so Kelly can invite her Supercrush from Psych class."
3) MO (Pronounced Moe): Short for Making Out.
"Pretty sure we were Mo-ing on the dance floor. Shoot me."
4) Boy Twin: A girl who shares similar past boyfriends/semi-boyfriends/lovers as you, which therefore makes you hate her.
"Patty is my Boy Twin, she was with Bobby, dated Roger, and is now with Paul.. all after me!"
5) Fade-Away: A move used when there are no longer sparks felt, but you don't want to have any kind of awkward conversation to end things, so you simply phase yourself out until all ties are cut.
"He's turning into such a time-waster, I think I need to pull the fade-away. I'll just lower the ratio of my texts to his texts until it's eventually over."
6) Simultaneous Fade-Away: When two people begin to phase each other out at the same time, having the opposite effect and causing the original plan to backfire.
"I haven't called him in a week, but he hasn't called me in a week! I think we are pulling a simultaneous fade-away. What did I do to make him not like me? Now I kind of want to hang out with him again."
These are the only ones I can think of right now, but I know there are tons more so maybe I'll update the list when my friends get back to me.
