Wasted potential zone

Guy: I’m good
Girl: This is what I like to refer to as the wasted potential zone

Fella 2: " Damn, she got potential."

Fella 1: " What the fuck!"

Potentially

The word used as an escape when commonly found in a tricky conversation. An easy answer for a yes or no question without consequences. The better form of Maybe. Often most affective when said while using hand gestures.

Speaker 1: "Did you punch yourself in the face while dancing awkwardly?"
Speaker 2: "um... eh. Potentially..."

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.

you have so much potential

A nice way of saying "you completely suck right now".

My mother said "you have so much potential" 27 years ago before my ballet hopes turned into a stripping carrier I wish she would have just told me I sucked.

The Potential

The term used to describe someone who you're more than friends with, but not in a relationship with. Short for "the potential boyfriend/girlfriend," it is used to define that awkward limbo phase where you're kinda dating/kinda seeing someone.

Son: Hey mom, where's Kelcey?

Mom: She's hanging out with Marco. I think he's The Potential.

Son: Oh geez, God help that poor boy.
