failationship 

"Britney Spears and Kevin Federline totally had a failationship."
failationship by Arjunftf January 16, 2009

Failationship 

A short, ultimately meaningless relationship. Defined by its failure or inability to work out. These relationships typically last only about a week to a few months. And burn out quickly for any myriad of reasons. They are technically real relationships, but their status as being "doomed to fail" is what cements them ultimately as a "Failationship"

You can only really tell if a relationship is really a "Failationship" after it's ended.
"Oh man, Katie and I broke up. . ."

"Really? You guys were only together for like 2 and a half weeks."

"She just told me she was tired of "Beating around the bush" and that she should've known we would never really work out"

"I told you this was gonna be a failationship."

Fauxlationship 

A relationship that isn't a "real" relationship (i.e. "We're going out. You are my --- and I am your ---"), but attempts to carry on as one, albeit half-heartedly, despite this fact.

Note: this is not the same as people who define their relationship as an "open relationship", as fauxlationships lack sturdy titles of any sort.

This is similar to FWB, except that the "couple" pretends to be more exclusive than they actually are. They may go on "fauxdates" with each other (like a romantic outing to McDonalds). They don't want to commit actual time and money to go on real DATE dates, but they want to occasionally pretend to do so (usually for the sake of one partner's feelings). They might entertain the idea of being in a real relationship with one another, but the idea never comes to fruition.

Fauxlationships almost always carry on for much longer than they need to, and frequently lead to messy "faux-breakups" (wherein it feels like a break up, but they shouldn't be so upset, because they were never actually dating in the first place).
She and I have a lot in common. We go to the same school, we like the same band, we have a class together. We hang out at each other's houses, and we occasionally have sex. I want to date her, but she doesn't LIKE like me, and doesn't want to get tied down. We'll rent movies sometimes, but she doesn't want to go out in public with me in case anybody thinks we're actually going out. I would complain about our fauxlationship, but at least it's sort of like having quality time with her.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
