Transitional Relationship

A affair in which one or both people have recently come out of a painful divorce/long-term relationship; somewhat of a "practice run" for the next serious relationship. More meaningful than a fuck buddy or friend privilege, a T/R is monogamous, and involves close friendship, sexual relations, and often genuine love, but no potential for permanence. Frequently arises between people who were already acquaintances, and is the relationship-equivalent to a halfway house for broken hearts on the mend.
"I think Jeff is absolutely amazing and I would love to go out with him in the future, but I'm still healing from my divorce and this transitional relationship with Dillon is all I can handle right now".

transition person

A transition person is the first persion you date during and/or after the ugly ending of a long term serious relationship, or possibly a drawn out death of your partner. They comfort you through the pain, self doubt, insecurity and other difficulties. Then, as you heal, they are a reminder of that terrible time and pain, so you gently ease them out of your life.
She was the one true love of my life, but I was just her transition person after Jason.

Lost In Translation

1)When something is translated into another language, and sometimes translated back into the original language, and because of differences of the languages some of the original meaning is lost.

2)Whenever someone re-does something in a new medium (for instance, a movie based on a book) and, due to differances between the mediums, some details and the original meaning is not present.

3)A movie that came out in 2003.
1)See larstait's post for a good example.

2)"Did you like the new Harry Potter movie?" asked Maria. "No," answered Sharon. "They couldn't include all the details that were in the book because then the movie would be too long. A lot of the characterization and subext was lost in translation."

3)I really liked Lost in Translation. And if you didn't, your opinion can't possibly be worth anything, you must be an idiot or a philistine. No, I didn't just imagine the subtext, it's there and it's very moving!
