Borrowed Ladder

Derived from the movie Gattaca. Someone who comes from a lower class or disadvantaged background and through perseverance and perhaps some deception becomes a member of a higher class or a more desirable section of society.

Everyone at the office thinks Alex grew up rich like us, but he's a borrowed ladder - grew up in a trailer park.

Barrowed

Getting excessively drunk, so much so that you must be carried home in a wheel-barrow.

How's your hangover? You were barrowed last night!

Indefinitely Borrowed

To indefinitely borrow something would be to borrow something without any intention of ever returning it back.

Mark is a such a dick. He indefinitely borrowed my pipe and I doubt he will ever return it. Fuck Mark.

fucking on borrowed fuck

An intense psychological neurosis frequently exhibited by prostitutes. Having got themselves completely fucked over and having traded all intellect for the constant compromise of impressing a different group of Johns every night (stupidity is after all highly varied) they are left with little or nothing of any substance. They use the last groped glimmer of intelligence to imitate other women so as to keep on fucking. Hence, fucking on a borrowed fuck.

That hooker was watching me all night, I think she was taking notes so that she could start fucking on borrowed fuck later.

borrowed

between friends with benefits and a relationship

We hook up, and are emotionally attached, but were definitely not in a relationship. I would call us borrowed.
