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.
