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.

Get the Let the ship sink mug.How da seaside-magistrate's docket-entry would read when referring to a legal-wrangling procedure regarding a wayward sailor who "had a girl in every port", and who therefore might eventually need to show his crude weather-beaten visage in front of said refined black-and-white-robed individual regarding paternity, broken prenuptials, etc.
In da Laurel and Hardy film, "Live Ghost", Mae Busch's character, "dear ol' Maisie", belabors her deadbeat-alcoholic husband off da ship with her furled umbrella; da implication is dat she will haul him before da local judge on charges entitled, "courtship vs. ship-court".

Get the walking cruise ship mug.(from an old "Tracy Twins" cartoon in "Boys Life" magazine; the twins are imaging what it might have been like to paddle a Viking longship)
First mate: Well, boys, I have good news and bad news for you --- the good news is, the captain has allowed you all thirty minutes for lunch!
Rowing crew: And what's the **bad** news?!
First mate (reluctantly): Uhhhh... the bad news is that after lunch, the captain wants to go WATER SKIING!
(And of course, the crew would be none too pleased to hear this, since it would take the term, "rowrow ship" to a whole new level --- imagine how frenziedly they would have to paddle to move the ship fast enough for someone to actually water-ski behind it!)
