The act of dragging out a relationship with someone while having dishonest intentions. This can be applied to friendships or dating. The person stringing along the victim usually is getting something selfish or one-sided out of the situation such as sex, money or attention from others. This usually ends poorly for the person being strung along. The victim is sometimes aware of the situation but does not break the cycle due to them being a tool, insecure, spineless or gaining something less from the relationship such as not being completely alone even though they are being used. People performing this act are usually Chav's.
"You still dating Janet?" "Yeah I'm going to string her along until the sex runs out." or "I'm going to keep stringing along that married guy until he stops spending money on me or his wife finds out."

Anything that takes you out of a book, film or tv show by exposing the creative process.
In old movies where you could literally see the string holding people up, you would be taken out of the film because you could see the method of creating the effect, and be reminded you were watching a movie. Examples could also include speech making in books and films, where the characters are spouting the writer's philosophy, or going into expositional dialogue.

That speech just ruined it for me; I could see the strings.
That lazy coincidence took me out of the story completely - I hate it when I can see the strings.

Billy Strings is a psychedelic blue grass jam band from Michigan. Thier music will melt your face off your skull and make you dance your feet off. The members of the band are all extremely talented and the best way to listen to them is LIVE with a head full of acid.
