Shadow Banding

A reactive emotional pattern that develops in response to the rubber band effect. When one partner repeatedly snaps back into the relationship, the other—wary of the cycle—begins forming secret emotional or romantic connections. Shadow banding is the quiet stretch: a hidden coping mechanism born from mistrust, grief, or emotional exhaustion. It’s not about cheating—it’s about survival when the relationship feels unstable or unsafe.

After she came back and ran off the girls I was dating, I started shadow banding—keeping quiet connections just in case she left again.

Barrel Band

The metal ring attached to the bottom of a shotgun barrel that holds the barrel onto the magazine tube

I bought an old shotgun, but the barrel band was broken off, so I could not mount it.

Band Dad

Middle aged men (sometimes women a.k.a. Band Mom) that are handy with tools and building. Typically has a child enrolled in marching band, drumline, color guard, drum corps, etc. Typically volunteers to build props, but may take on other tasks such as towing trailers, mixing Gatorade, etc.

Why did you bring your drill to rehearsal?
