relative futility

As it pertains to economic "Law of Diminishing Returns", and Maslow
relative futility is the measure of fucks you are obligated to risk on

a useless venture.
This is reached when the odds of a return on the investment = LESS THAN ZERO
The relative futility of meeting an active brain cell in this dump is absolute,

so I save 10 bucks if I PASS on that useless venture!

at nerd shop down the street = "SO MUCH WIN"

Person 1: That country is disgusting with their ritual baby murders, female genital mutalation, and torturing of innocent people.

love/hate relationship

The dynamics of the love/hate relationship are based on both mutual admiration and irritation.

Usually such a relationship is formed unintentionally by people who are complete opposites being flung together, such as an introduction through a mutual friend.

Although unsuited to each other's presence, the lover/haters will usually find it hard to exclude the other from their life and day-to-day activities.

Similar to an abusive relationship, the lover/haters constantly crave more conflict while subconsciously seeking the other's approval.

Previously, those engaged in a love/hate relationship were commonly referred to as lover/haters, however the term "pevy" as now surpassed the phrase lover/haters.
I can't stand being in their presence. Talk about a love/hate relationship; those two are constantly bickering. They're such a pevy.
