ex-swap

Usually occurs between two ex couples whom the guys are bros are the girls are tight. When things turn south in both relationships, the bros and girls don't mind hooking up with the other guy/girl. Everyone benefits because both the girls and guys feel great being on the rebound while simultaneously getting revenge by hooking up with their ex's best friend.

Remember Janet and Charley used to go on double dates with Kate and Josh? Yeah well now Charley's doin Kate, and Josh is doin Janet. Classic ex-swap.

Teenagers who were popular in elementary and middle school but are nobody's in high school. These are usually people who developed earlier than everyone else and by mid-freshman year they were nothing. Most of the time this is a girl who every guy liked in middle school because she was hotter than everyone else but when other girls came out of their awkward stages she was forgotten.

guy#1: "Dude, Erin is so hott!!"

ex-squared

Your first ex, in the event you've been divorced twice. This term avoids confusion, is succint, and has the added benefit of showing you have a sense of humor.

I'm on speaking terms with my ex, but if I never see my ex-squared for the rest of my life, it will be just fine.
