A
relationship where one person is the "user"
and the other person is the "usee". Typical useries are disguised as
friendships, marriages or business partnerships.
I thought I was married but it
turned out I was in a usery for all she wanted was a roof over her head and a charge card in her hand.
My business went under because I didn't
realize I was in a usery. My so-called partner took half the profits and did none of
the work.
