Relationshow 

A relationship that consists of sappy social media posts that make everyone else want to vomit. Probably to make up for lack of intimacy in real life. Many relationshows are short-lived since there is no substance to the actual relationship. However, real couples can have relationshows as well to hide turbulent points in their relationship.
Example 1: Whenever she gets a new boyfriend she puts on such a relationshow and then they break up within 3 months! You would think eventually she would learn to actually wait to get to know someone before spewing mushy shit all over her facebook for everyone to be annoyed by. How fucking embarrassing it must be when they break up with her after such a relationshow.

Example 2: She keeps posting how she can't live without him and all these pictures of them together. When will she realize that no one gives a fuck about her relationshow?

Example 3: Mary is putting on such a relationshow but we all know her husband is fucking someone else.

relationship test

1) n. A secret task or condition you place on a person who you've just started dating to evaluate whether or not that person is relationship material.

2) n. A detrimental, often self-destructive lie of great significance told to expose the true character of one's partner. This is often done (ironically) in efforts to overcome one's own fear of commitment or to sabotage the relationship. (See mind fuck.)

3) n. The date during which one introduces one's partner to one's family for purposes of evaluating the long term viability of the relationship.
When Matt goes on a first date with a chick, he opens her car door first and then walks around back. If she doesn't reach over and unlock his door, she fails the relationship test 'cause she's probably a selfish cunt.

Whenever Claire needs to figure out if she wants to continue seeing some guy, she breaks out the, "I'm biologically male" relationship test. Then she sits back and watches the sparks fly.

Brønsted Relationship 

Describes the correlation between degree of attraction and relationship kinetics. When used to describe a precise period within a relationship it indicates the "friends with benefits" zone; when log (attraction) is proportional to log (rate of relationship progression). Unfortunately no Bronsted Relationship lasts forever, hence the "ø." Eventually the linear correlation breaks down when the mechanism of attraction changes as the relationship matures. Also at very high degrees of attraction, the rate may become saturated and become a zero order process. As in both parties are focusing on zero considerations apart from physical intimacy.
Human 1: "Dude; Jack and Rose are all over each other!"
Human 2: "Yea it's still a Brønsted Relationship."
Human 1: "Well it's a bummer cause Jack never comes over to watch football or make creme brulee anymore."
Human 2: "Don't worry, in a few months they'll be over it."

I'm not ready for a relationship 

Translation: You are annoying and our interactions need to end immediately.

Uttered when a person realizes a dating partner is not worth it/crazy. A form of "it's not you, it's me." A lie to quickly end things without hurting the other person's feelings. Often has the opposite effect as the other party may engage in manipulative techniques to avoid a break up. Smooth as butter when it works.
Scenario 1
Person A: Hey I know we've been seeing each other for a while but after a lot of thinking, I'm not ready for a relationship.

Person 2: Oh I see. Well I guess I'll see you around. Thanks for letting me know.

Scenario 2
Person A: Hey I know we've been seeing each other for a while but after a lot of thinking, I'm not ready for a relationship.

Person B: What do you mean? *Insert 3 hours of bs*

Person A: I'm sorry I can't talk about this anymore. *Blocks person B*

quasiplatonic relationship 

A term for people who are in a relationship that exceeds society's boundaries for friendships, but do not experience romantic attraction for the other. Also known as a queerplatonic relationship or QPR. Often replaces queerplatonic relationship as people in QPRs are not necessarily queer and the term queerplatonic relationship may cause confusion.
Partners in QPRs are often known as a zucchini, a term that began as an inside joke in the asexual and aromantic community.
Person 1: I'm really confused. I like you a lot, more than a friend should, but it's not in a romantic way.

Person 2: I feel the same way. I heard about a thing called a quasiplatonic relationship, and I think that would make sense for us. Would you like to be my QP partner?
Person 1: Yes please

Mutual Extramarital Relationship 

When both members of a married couple are simultaneously in a relationship with the same third party.
Girl: Can Scarlett Johansson be our Mutual Extramarital Relationship?
Guy: What?
Girl: You know, we both get to bang her if we get the chance.
