pretential

If "potential" is "having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future"; then *Pretential* is the *potential to have potential*.
Example; If you study well, you have POTENTIAL.
If you aren't bothering to study, but you have the right teachers, books, notes, etc.; then you have PRETENTIAL

Person 1: You've got a great teacher, the textbook's got all the information, and you have every other possible tool you could need! You've just got so much potential!
Person 2: I don't have potential, I'm not studying yet!
Person 1: Yes you do...
Person 2: No, I only have *PREtential*

but this word could be used in any context :P

Potential Victim 

Often abbreviated to "PV".

Commonly used to refer to a girl with whom you are considering courtship/elopement/copulation/mating/etc. Typically used by people who are less than attractive to begin with; therefore their person-of-desire is considered "prey".
"Spot any PV's (potential victims) tonight at that house party?"

"I'm going to walk around the club and look for some PV's. I'll report back to you with the results."
