Template fatigue 

In the corporate world, templates are often provided by more senior people as a means of requesting and gathering information. The template are portrayed as an attempt to make the process easier, when in reality they make things harder.
These people in headquarters keep sending me templates to fill out on different topics. There are so many of them and in different versions that I’m suffering from template fatigue.

Crime Template 

A preconceived perception on the part of police investigators and detectives of a crime scenario or phenomenon based on past cases in which investigators became aware of a new type of scenario or phenomenon that was previously unknown to them but reaveal, being applied to a current case with similar elements and assumed to be identical to previous cases based on

past cases, statistics, personal assumptions, public opinion, hunches and other factors and then persued as such without objectivity or taking into account that although seeming similar the scenario may not be identical.
The police used a crime template to determine that when a child is killed in the home it's always the parents that are the killers due to statistics.

templationship 

A composition of the words "temporary" and "relationship". It is when two, or more parties agrees that a relationship should only be temporary.

As opposed to most people, who are serial monogamists, people who agree to a templationship are aware about their situation.

It is ideal when you know you're not suited or compatible for long term, but you have intense chemistry and enjoy spending time with each other. Templationships are mostly exclusive in nature, but can also not be. It is defined by the people agreeing to it.
Jane: Have you heard? Sarah and Josh are finally dating!
Laura: Yeah, but Josh wants kids down the line, and Sarah has other plans. I am pretty sure they agreed to a templationship!
