Theoretical Friend

Old friends that you never really hear from anymore, apart from the occasional Text msg, Email or fleeting birthday card, that always contains one of the phrases: "we should meet up, hang out, do something, I'll call you..." but never actually make any arrangements. These are good on paper mates, those that bump up your personal sense of popularity but never actually see. Friends in theory.

"Are you kidding, Annie's not going to come, she's a Theoretical Friend..."

Mom (in a whisper): "Meredith, you see those 5 guys over there? They're hot! Aren't they?"

Meredith: "OMG Mom!!! Those guys are all my age!!!"

Mom (still whispering): "Yeah, I know. But I'd love to get with one of 'em. Too bad I could never tell them that."

Meredith: "You're such a theoretical cougar"

In Theory, items shipping from china by airplane should arrive sooner than those by ship. Those items should have arrived today, in theory. If that theororist says "in theory" one more time I'm going to ship HIM to China.
