When actors engage in a romance for the run of a show.
Once the run is over so is the romance.
The term originated in the theater and moved to movies and scripted television and then reality television.
The term has now moved to the populace to discribe any contrived romance.

Scanlations are unofficial translations of comics, posed on the Internet. The name is derived from the process, as, usually, a scanlation is done through scanning a hard copy of the original, whiting out the speech bubbles, and typing the translation in its place. Scanlations can range from basic unjustified text copy-pasted from Google Translate to professional-quality localizations, though it is noted that scanlations are often more faithful to the original than official localizations. From the same source as "scanlation", the verb "scanlate" is also in use.

On top of its illegality, scanlation has a bad reputation due to a massive amount of scanlated material being erotic manga. However, it is a misconception that only such works are scanlated, or even only mangas at all; for instance, Franco-Belgian comics such as "Spirou et Fantasio" that never received English versions have been scanlated thusly.

Unauthorized translations of already freely available webcomics are sometimes lumped together with scanlations, although, since no scanning is involved, they may not actually qualify depending on who you ask.
The official translation was cancelled, we're lucky to have scanlations.

'fake deep' is a description equivalent to an overt chauvinistic person. They appear 'smart,' 'educated,' or 'woke' upon first impression but the underlying meanings of their words contradict intent.
"I'm tired of these fake deep people trying to tell people how to live their lives and thinking they have all the answers."
"I hate those fake deep men complimenting / praising women while subliminally laying out rules by which they should look, feel, and act."
"Fake deeps shift stereotypes and simultaneously dehumanize marginalized groups."

When someone is caught committing a crime (mainly one sexual in nature, but can refer to all crimes), with overwhelming evidence to prove they did it; in their defense, the culprit denies that they were the one caught doing the crime.

Derived from the Shaggy song "It Wasn't Me", which describes a man being caught having sex with another woman by his wife, and subsequently denying that it was him she actually saw.
When caught on video having sex with a 14 year old girl, R. Kelly employed the Shaggy Defense; he just denied that he was the one in the video.
