FAIR

Fundamental Alignment In Reality

When such an one from a son of man shouldst say, "That's not fair," or similarly, "Life's not fair"; we of the learned nature should render: Nay, but of such ramblings is ignorance and superfluity, for, to wit, it is yet FAIR: Fundamental Alignment In Reality.

Fair Dinkum Aussie Dingo

A return response to an Aussie mate (male) usually over a few beers who says something so outrageous that “fair dinkum” just doesn’t cut it.

Mate at pub: Went fishing, fell in the water, got attached by a shark, managed to get out of the water fairly unscathed and scored a root on the walk back to the Ute.

Response: Fair dinkum Aussie dingo!

Fair Weather

Applied to someone who is present only when things are going well or when they need something, but at the first sign of trouble/hardship, they disappear faster than Brittney Spears's career

In sports, the term is often confused with a bandwagoner, but unlike bandwagon fans, a fair weather fan initially has some interest in the team, but they want nothing to do with them when tough times occur. As soon as the team starts to turn things around and starts winning, they act as if they been there through thick and thin.

A fair weather friend is more of an associate/acquaintance. They aren't truly your friend, but you talk to them enough to somewhat know them personally. They act nice to you when they need something, but as soon as you need them to return the favor, they are nowhere to be found. A true friend is there for you no matter what.

This term can be applied to anything in life, but these are the most common.

________
