Echo-ship

Echo-ship

/ˈɛkəʊ-ʃɪp/ noun

1. A lingering emotional or physical connection between former romantic partners who are no longer together, often resurfacing out of nostalgia, comfort, or unresolved feelings.

2. A relationship that exists only as an echo of what once was — familiar but hollow, repeating old patterns without real commitment or future.

“It wasn’t love anymore, just an echo-ship — two people haunted by their own history.”

Etymology:
From echo (a reflection or repetition of sound) + relationship. Coined to describe the emotional “after-sound” of a past romance that continues to reverberate even after it has officially ended.
“They said they’d moved on, but their late-night messages showed they were still stuck in an echo-ship.”

Part of the ship part of the crew

Originating from the move Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, the quote "Part of the ship, part of the crew" means that once you join, you can never leave.
This quote is commonly applied by lobotomites after removing their frontal cortex which signifies commitment to being mentally handicapped. Those foolish enough to have this lobotomy often use an app and are unable to prevent themselves from reopening it 2 minutes later.
