The subject of a potential relationship that, if pursued, would only result in failure and drama. Usually female, but can also be male.

Failbait will typically be impartial to or encourage a relationship, usually under inconvenient circumstances. The relationship will end poorly, if it even gets off the ground.

Similar in usage to jailbait, but without the underage or incarceration aspect. Since going to jail would be considered a failure in most circles, jailbait is a more specific form of failbait.

Failbait differs from cocktease in that the subject isn't intentionally malicious or deceiving.
What? She likes you now, after all these years? She's failbait... she doesn't know what she wants.

She's with a new guy every month. Don't fall for that failbait.

Dude, you already have a hot girlfriend who understands you. Why are you obsessing over failbait?

Jul 26 Word of the Day
Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.

Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.

Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed
I got a call from X the other night. She had an extra ticket to a concert she bought for a friend, but they couldn’t make it so she called me to ask if I wanted to go because I am her Second String Friend.
