Distractionship

A bond formed between two people that is beneath a relationship or a situationship for the sole purpose of distracting oneself or selves from another relationship or situationship. This may be done consciously or subconsciously. Additionally, one person may see the bond as more of a relationship/situationship whereas the other person may truly see it for what it is.
A relationship is your boyfriend/girlfriend. A situationship is the sticky mess you find yourself in with a person who avoids commitment. And distractionship(s) are all the random people on your snap that you flirt with to make yourself feel better about said relationship or situationships.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
