family support

A sweet/innocent-sounding term for frequent/ongoing financial handouts that one or more mooching relatives (such as adult-children or nephews/nieces) request/expect from one or more fiscally-solvent/responsible relatives (such as parents, grandparents, or aunts/uncles), step-relatives, or in-laws.
Disgusted step-father: Boy, when I agreed to a "family support" clause in the prenup, it never occurred to me that I'd be expected to actually FINANCIALLY SUPPORT my apathetic step-daughter and her lazy good-for-nothing live-in boyfriend! They act like they love and appreciate me, but I know they really only view me as a walking ATM!

emutional support

Da comforting companionship dat da Liberty Mutual dude gets from his goofy-lookin' bulgy-eyed feathered buddy.
Dunno how anyone could actually derive much emutional support from a weird flightless bird dat is known for being short-tempered and aggressive, but hey --- if dat's your thing, more power to you. Safety goggles and thick-fabric protective clothing might be wise to wear when communing with said fuzzy buddies, though, since their formidable beaks and claws are not exactly objects dat you'd wanna get too friendly with.
