Term for someone who paperclips. In short, they only come around when they need help or want something.

E.g. Paperclipping involves a past dating partner or ex who suddenly reappears out of nowhere. This action sometimes involves orbiting, as they want to keep you on the back burner. An ex might reach out to offer help or see how your family is doing, etc.

John: Fuck off, clippy
