Preventative Maintenance

A system by where an item is taken out of service to prevent it from breaking down due to overuse. It is questionable as to whether work is actually being done or not.

You know, preventative maintenance. By turning the escalator off, people are prevented from using it so maintenance will never have to be done.

maintenance sex

Sexual intercourse initiated by the male partner of a long term live-in relationship primarily for the relief of his sexual tension and usually occuring at the same time and place every week. If foreplay is included, it is uninspired and routine in nature. If anything other than missionary position is used, you are NOT having maintenance sex!

Maintenance sex is associated with an increase in UTIs in women (due primarily to the lack of lubrication) and with other relationship problems such as extramarital affairs and divorce. Interestingly extramarital affairs and divorce are also effective cures for maintenance sex.

"So what happened to you and Mr. Right? I thought you guys were a great couple!"
"Couldn't take the maintenance sex so I had to dump him."

high maintenance

Means you're a self-centered cunt (applies to males or females) who should not be tolerated.

YOU: "I have to warn you I'm high maintenance."
ME: "You mean you're a self-centered cunt?"

high maintenance

Most women are high maintenance. The term "high maintenance" usually refers to a very peculiar female individual that is extremely selfish and demands a constant stream of gifts and attention. Also prone to bitch and complain about your every action, thinks highly of herself, and will never issue an apology...unless she desperately wants something from you.

I will NOT call you up 57 times a day, and there´s no way IN HELL i´m buying you that ruby encrusted necklace and scepter from the 18th century. Now GO DOWN ON ME and MAKE ME CUM...BITCH!
