Fair-weather feminist

Typically an ugly and jealous woman who when presented with a situation that doesn't suit her, she portrays feminist views and when the situation suits her will be more than happy to go a long with it. She will want to see the end of lads mags and bring the adult entertainment industry to its knees (pardon the pun) but will always expect 'the guy' to make the first move and is the first to suggest a male stripper at a female bachelorette party

Boy: Michelle Keegen's tits are huge!
Fair-weather feminist: oh my god you can't objectify women like that you jerk

Fair-weather feminist: I can't believe he wanted to split the bill with me the cheap guy

fair-weather friend

A friend who doesn't help in times of difficulty. Likely nautical in nature, referring to the fact that when weather is good nearly anyone can help on a ship.

Fair-weather spouse

when a spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife is the greatest partener around when the relationship is fun and easy going. When things turn for the worst or become difficult, as relationships eventually do, they jump ship like their pants are on fire.

P1: Why did Melissa want that divorce after being married for so long? They seemed to be happy...

P2: She is a Fair-weather Spouse...

P1: Oh, makes sense, Bitch.

fair-weather friend

A person that is a brilliant friend while things are going well, but when the gong gets tough, the person ups and leaves.

when I was rich, Chris was such a great friend. But when I screwed up and lost everything, I never heard from him again. Chris is such a fair-weather friend.

fair-weather friend

Usually a good friend to begin with that eventually takes advantage of a true friend and does not maintain the SAME loyalty and respect. Without an explation why, a fair weather friend may abandon a friendship altogether for superficial reasons or changes in moral beliefs without a care for nurturing fair dicussion. The exception is when that person needs something, they know they can still count on an "all weather friend"

Since she's a fair-weather FRIEND, I guess that means I'm still her friend in all weather until I consider her not a friend any longer.
