In television: a ship that is considered canon due to overwhelming use of romance tropes and a love declaration from half the ship, but also left "open to interpretation" by viewers who want to see it as platonic because the writer(s) deliberately left it ambiguous by removing the couple from the story or killing them before the other half can respond to said love declaration and confirm reciprocation. The couple can be interpreted as both "canon by valid assumption due to vast amounts of supporting evidence" and "not-canon by absence of explicit confirmation of reciprocation" depending on viewer preference.

Hey, Dan, is there anyone left at the Mother Ship that likes Chris Berman, or are they all tired of his ridiculous, self-important attitude?
