A relationship where
one person is the "user" and
the other person is the "usee". Typical useries are disguised as friendships, marriages or
business partnerships.
I thought I was married but it turned out I was in a usery for all she wanted was a roof over her head and a charge card in her hand.
My
business went under because I didn't realize I was in a usery. My so-called
partner took half the profits and did none of the
work.
