Loveship 

Usually comes after a Flirtationship. A loveship is when two people both want to take it to the next step (a relationship) but it's not the time and the two people are saving themselves for each other, no matter how long it takes. Examples of the main obstacles that keep people from taking it to the next step are distance, age, or if they're simply not ready. Some loveships tend to fall back down to a flirtationship, some loveships will completely fall apart due to the people getting impatient or falling in love with someone else but most Loveships have lasted, due to the main key which is to have patience. Or it can be a combination of both a flirtationship and a loveship (when two people are really into each other but they just want to wait it out before moving on to a relationship, generally, there's nothing preventing them from moving it to the next level).
Girls Friend: Hey, did you see Tom and Kaitlyn?
Guys Friend: yeah! They said that they're going to remain in a loveship before taking it to the next level.
Girls Friend: oh that's understandable.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
