The verb form of attrition. When someone leaves a group or company, he will "attrit" from that group.
We can't fire that group of managers even though they're dead weight. We just have to wait for them to attrit.

A war in which forces do not confront each other in direct combat with the full strength of their teams, but instead aim to wear each other down over a period of time using tactics such as guerilla warfare, sabotage and other dishonourable means of combat.
The war is a war which will not necessarily be won by superior skill but by patience and skillful resource management.

When at a party, the less pretty people become more attractive due to the departure and rapid pairing off of the more attractive people.
When 2am rolls around and the fat girls are looking tastey, it's because of attritional beauty. Similar to beer-goggles.

When a mobile phone call drops out, the ensuing attempts to call each other back on both sides results in endless straight-to-voicemail calls, engaged signals, more dropouts... it's just useless.
Adapted from the term "war of attrition", in which both forces wear each other down over a long period of time, resulting in little success for either.

Nick just dropped out; I'm trying to get ahold of him for the fourth time, but it's just a call of attrition at the moment.
