Often abbreviated to simply “LTL” this majestic phrase is to explain oneself for doing something that is short term work for the eventual greater good of being lazy. For example one might be standing in a situation that calls for sitting. If one is doing this it’s quite clear that this genius is a lazy acumen for spotting that he’s going to arise very soon so he might as well remain standing as to not have to deal with the aggravating work of getting up. The term was first originated in 2008 by Vince Wilfork who was once told to take a knee but didn’t because “LTL”
Sammy: Yo why you standing bro?
Noah: Bro LTL you know you’re just going to have to stand right back up again
Sammy: That’s facts bro but what does LTL mean?
Noah: Long Term Laziness
Sammy: Aight Bet!

Long Term Game, or LTG, involves planting the seeds for a hook-up long before you intend to harvest the fruits. As opposed to a one night stand, LTG is just getting your foot in the door, even if the plan is weeks, months or even years away from being completed.

LTG is often employed by women looking to ride the gravy train in life, locking up a wealthy older man who will take care of them.
"Are you going home with that guy?"
"Nope, it's LTG all the way. He wants me, but I am going to make him work for it and ring me first."

C: "I've got a great Long Term Game worked out. It involves a great spray tan, a sparkling personality and pretending to know about a variety of subjects so I can fit in with any social gathering. What man could resist?"

Long term relationship is a common, contemporary term for intimate interpersonal relationships that may be lifelong and may or may not consist in marriage. Long term relationships are considered the opposite of casual relationships, which tend to be short in duration. The notation "LTR" is used to designate "long term relationship" in "personals" advertisements. When a long term relationship that is neither a marriage nor a civil union ends and both partners have a financial interest in the relationship, a suit for palimony may be filed by one or both of the partners. This is especially the case when one of the partners is wealthy or a gaylord.
