To give somenone false hopes or to make someone believe her/him you are head over heels for that person when you know for a fact you don't give a damn about it, but you keep it under wraps because you're either scared of hurting her/his feelings or you don't wanna be alone. Sometimes that guy or girl winds up marrying someone else (not always but happens)
string along:
John: Mary has really become a pain in the ass, but I don't wanna dump her. I'm so adapted to her company.
Sean: you're a fucking wimp, you should break up, you always string girls along!!!
John: after I hit on Monica!

Get the strife mug.An abbreviated form of the word "Australian" that in legend is heard in the Australian accent of English, in much the same way as "Arcadian" has evolved into "Cajun".
Because of that shortening of the word and the way the Oz accent seems to run one word into the next, it's been used as a name for the collection of words that have been similarly shortened by Australian English speakers, expecially ockers, as well as the wide range of particularly Australian slang words.
In the mid '60s an Australian writer Alistair Morison wrote a book under the pseudonym Afferbeck Lauder (alphabetical order) called "Let Stork Strine" (Let's talk Australian) which became popular for a while and spawned a series of books and other Strine publishings (Nose Tone Unturned aka No Stone Unturned, and so on.)

Here are several Strine examples translated into English:
"Eye level arch feed, a frosty, anna feecher, with air chew" is Strine for "I'll have a large meal, a cold beer, followed by a feature (i.e. sex), so I don't want you around."
Maz dryza dead dingo's donga (I am as dry as a dead dingo's donger, i.e. I'm rather thirsty)
Flamin Pom bastard zazmadza cutsnake, he yodelled on the wall to wallen ran out way past the black stump (The crazy English guy is as mad as a cut snake, he just threw up on the carpet and ran off into the outback)
Moffta point percy atta porseline (I'm off to point percy at the porcelain, i.e. take a piss)
