Occasional Other

Someone to have consistent, yet occasional relations with. While similar to a friend with benefits this sometimes-relationship goes beyond sex, would include occasional dates without the commitment and strings of a full-on relationship.

Occam's Safety Guard

Occam's Safety Guard - contends that devising clever alternatives to the simplest solution can be safely avoided all together, as the result will inevitably be the same. It is, if you will, the scabbard with which Occam's Razor can be safely stored.

It is in a sense, it is the principle which destroys the dreaded, 'analysis to paralysis' dynamic.
The tedious nature of these meetings, in which we indulge every clever thought that comes out of someone's head, could be thwarted through the use of "Occam's Safety Guard".

Occam’s Razor

1. A philosophical shortcut where the simplest possible explanation is the most likely

2. The only razor that makes shaving my face fun
Dude 1: Do you think she’s part of the Russian mafia and is trying to lure me in with her unbearably cute face and angelic voice?
Dude 2: Occam’s Razor my guy. She’s probably just flirting with you because she thinks you’re cute.
Dude 1: Impossible.
Dude 2: Not according to Occam’s Razor.
