Potentially

The word used as an escape when commonly found in a tricky conversation. An easy answer for a yes or no question without consequences. The better form of Maybe. Often most affective when said while using hand gestures.
Speaker 1: "Did you punch yourself in the face while dancing awkwardly?"

Potentially

An answer you can give to your "friends" when they ask you to hang out, but you don't want to. So instead of saying no, you lead them on like a no good thirsty hoe who wants your dick but looks like big foot.

Person 1: I'll take that as a no. Fuck you too.

Potentially unwanted program

Term coined by McAfee for a type of software program that may be unwanted, despite the possibility that users are consented to download it. PUPs include (most commonly) adware, spyware and dialers. Some files from these programs will download taskbars.

Most common category of PUPs is rogue software, in which a program bribes the user to pay for a "removal" of non-existent malware on his/her computer.
PC Optimizer Pro is a good example of a potentially unwanted program

potentially infuriating

Something that doesn't quite get on your nerves or piss you off, yet. Also, the key word is potentially, so chances are it can really piss you off sooner or later. Think of something you found cute or hilarious for about five minutes, like a semi-witty dick joke, or an incontinent puppy, will later be potentially infuriating by repitition. Reference puppy dog girlfriend for a better irl example.
Person a: Does that chick relize that being a puppy dog girlfriend doesn't make her cute at all anymore?

Person b: He doesn't care whether or not that's potentially infuriating, he just gets pent up about it and fucks the shit out of her later

Person c(puppy dog girlfriend's bf, appeared from behind):
damn skippy, what she on't know won't kill her

Person a&b: WILL YOU QUIT DOING THAT, YOU ARE NOT A FUCKING NINJA, YOU GODFORSAKEN WEEABOO!!!
