Five-Year Plan

A five year programme generally made with the purpose of revolutionary rapid industrialisation, modernisation and mechanisation of a national economy and internal market. Comes with the side effect of famine and goolags.

It's time to launch our first Five-Year Plan to kickstart the banana manufacturing industry.

five year plan 

taking five or more years to complete high school or college.

high school seniors who have failed will be known as "super seniors" the next year. college students who have failed, or have decided to spend more than four years in college, will ALSO be known as super seniors.

Looks like Aaron failed again! That silly bastard. Looks like he's making a five year plan!!

five year plan 

Relationships:
When the girlfriend (or boyfriend) in a relationship desires to be with their partner for an annoyingly large amount of time, although not necessarily for more or less than five years, if at all an amount of time is specified.
Said partners tend to almost immediately wish to discuss marriage, children and growing old together, and are also very 'clingy' and choking. A common occurrence if it is one or both partner's first serious relationship, or if one or both parters are inexperienced in relationships.

Chris: Dude, my girlfriend's really choking me.
Graham: Why?
Chris: Ah she's started talking of marriage, kids, she wants to see me all the time...I think she's a five year plan girlfriend.
