"Public Facebook Affection"
Keep it in the bedroom, we don't need to know that stuff. Obviously if you can't contain your amorous posts to yourself, you must "love them more than life itself".
Steve: "I love you so much hun"
Sara: "I can't wait to see you later! I love you more than life itself"
These relationships seem to be the kind that need to prove themselves. They tend not to last.

N. prop. Abbreviation for "Person From Away", this term is used by native Mainers to refer to people (usually from the Boston area) who purchase large homes to which they refer for some inexplicable reason as "cottages", use the word "summer" as a verb to refer to the visiting of the aforementioned "cottages", and hold the opinion that all non-PFAs they encounter should happily worship the dog turds they trod through because of all of the money that they spend in a "quaint" coastal town while "summering" in their "cottages"
PFA is the most polite way by which such seasonal visitors are referred by native Mainers. More commonly in a more directly negative connotation the term "masshole" will be used.
