A mixture of the words 'Potentially' and 'Possibly' for today's indecisive man. Likely to entertain your drunk friends and aggravate your sober ones.

The word used as an escape when commonly found in a tricky conversation. An easy answer for a yes or no question without consequences. The better form of Maybe. Often most affective when said while using hand gestures.

The term used to describe someone who you're more than friends with, but not in a relationship with. Short for "the potential boyfriend/girlfriend," it is used to define that awkward limbo phase where you're kinda dating/kinda seeing someone.
Son: Hey mom, where's Kelcey?
Mom: She's hanging out with Marco. I think he's The Potential.
Son: Oh geez, God help that poor boy.

He's earning mid-B's so far this year, but he has tremendous potential. I think he'll end up with an A if he starts studying.
