Word of the Day

Necessity is the mother of invention. 

here's a word that may be new to some of you: situationship, defined by Wiktionary as

(neologism, informal) A romantic or sexual relationship in which the parties involved do not clearly define their relationship as such, but for example consider it "complicated" or a friends with benefits-type situation.

Wiktionary gives quotations back to 2014:

2014, Marcia Newman, Five Gifts of Pro-Aging:

Codependents don't have relationships, they have situationships.

Google Books turns up an example from a novel originally published in 2011 — Scott Gummer, Parents Behaving Badly
