The term romantic deception, coined by Dr. Sally Caldwell, author of the book Romantic Deception: The Six Signs He's Lying, "is the unrestrained misrepresentation of significant facts in the context of an intimate relationship." Sheila became a victim of romantic deception when she learned the man she'd been dating for six months was actually married to another woman.

| 2. | Baxter | ||
|
A Baxter is the character in every romantic comedy who is the "sensible" choice. He/she is the current boyfriend/fiance of one of the main characters, who gets left at the altar/airport/wedding rehearsal when the main character realizes she's in love with the unpredictable passionate romantic interest.
"..the minute you see them, you know they're wrong, ... The instant they walk on the screen, they give you some information that immediately makes the audience turn to the person sitting next to them and say, 'He's wrong for her. It'll never work out.” --Michael Showalter-- "That insurance agent she's dating is so responsible and dull. He's a total Baxter."
aka Bill Pullman in Sleepless in Seattle, Patrick Dempsey in Sweet Home Alabama, Ducky in Pretty in Pink, Cary Elwes in Liar Liar, Greg Kinnear and Parker Posey in You've Got Mail. |

| 4. | Malleus Maleficarum | ||
|
A witch-hunter's guidebook, written in 1486 by German Dominican monks Jakob Sprenger and Heinrich Kramer, and arguably one of the most blood-soaked and hateful books in history.

The main purpose of the "Malleus Maleficarum", or "The Hammer Against Witches", was to refute all arguments that witchcraft did not exist, refute those who were skeptical about its reality, to prove that witches were more often women than men, and to educate magistrates on the how to find witches and convict them. This book reflects that Sprenger and Kramer not only severely lacked a sense of humor and were obsessed with sex, but also that they had major issues with women; the book singles women out as the weaker sex, weaker in faith, lustful and easy by nature, and thus easy prey for Satan's coaxing. The men even went so far as to state the etymology of "femina" (Latin for "woman") as "fe" ("faith") + "minus" ("less"), which it is not. Indeed, the book uses the exclusively feminine "malefica |

He who creates fake facebook accounts of a celebrity and then in a laughable attempt to fantasize about being the celebritiy's romantic other half, is stupid enough to publicly list himself as that celebrity's boyfriend on facebook, so that millions of people can witness his stupidity. A yalam, from Malaysia, in action on facebook:
his unique user link is: facebook dot com/billyjt the user id of the fake account he created is: facebook dot com/profile.php?id=100000078430483 |

Acronym that stands for "Lying, Cheating Piece of Shit". Used to attack the character of an individual who has been exposed as having betrayed their romantic partner, either emotionally or sexually, and having tried to cover up the fact, often through untruths and/or psychological manipulation. - I heard you and Greg split.
