The term used to describe someone who you're more than friends with, but not in a relationship with. Short for "the potential boyfriend/girlfriend," it is used to define that awkward limbo phase where you're kinda dating/kinda seeing someone.
Son: Hey mom, where's Kelcey?
Mom: She's hanging out with Marco. I think he's The Potential.
Son: Oh geez, God help that poor boy.
Mom: She's hanging out with Marco. I think he's The Potential.
Son: Oh geez, God help that poor boy.

Mom: She's hanging out with Marco again. It looks like he's The Potential.
Son: Oh geez, god help that boy!

A mixture of the words 'Potentially' and 'Possibly' for today's indecisive man. Likely to entertain your drunk friends and aggravate your sober ones.

An answer you can give to your "friends" when they ask you to hang out, but you don't want to. So instead of saying no, you lead them on like a no good thirsty hoe who wants your dick but looks like big foot.
Person 1: You wanna ball tomorrow?
Person 2: potentially
Person 1: I'll take that as a no. Fuck you too.
Person 2: potentially
