Potential Ax Murderer

A Potential Ax Murderer (a.k.a. PAM) is someone you have been introduced to through friends, Tinder or online dating, but haven't yet met in person. Until you can check them out yourself, you always have to be cautious in case they turn out to be a Potential Ax Murderer or Bunny Boiler.

P: Have you met that hottie you were matched with on Tinder?
R: Nah. We'll probably hook up later in the week.
P: Watch out she doesn't turn out to be a Potential Ax Murderer!

perceived potential

Something anticipated or hoped for without any solid proof or promise.

You hire someone based on their perceived potential, only later you get a solid proof of their capabilities or promise.

When you pursue a girl, you want to date her based on perceived potential of her in your life. Only later you find out who she really is and if it's a good fit or not.

Before you move to a new location (city, area, country), the city has certain perceived potential in your mind. Only after living there for a while, you validate your hopes or assumptions.
