Relationship Buzzwords

Esays/Psays — Your Biweekly Dose of Black Love Apparently, while Ellyn and Paul have been busy staying married for 37 years, the dating world went ahead and invented a whole new language. This week they're breaking down the latest relationship buzzwords — and giving their very honest, very married take on each one. Spoiler: some of these are just old habits with new names. Buzzwords covered this episode: 🏠 Accommodating — dating someone primarily because they have housing. Paul's word for it? Freeloading. 💛 Conscious Dating — ditching the search for love to become love first. Self-care, journaling, and getting yourself right before bringing someone else into the picture 🧣 Cuffing Season — scrambling for a plus-one exclusively for the cold and holiday months 💼 Daterview — a date that feels more like a job interview. Career, earnings, goals, prospects — all on the table 🥤 Dry Dating — no alcohol, no drunken disasters. Just real conversation and no regrets ☀️ Freckling — a swift and happy summer fling ♻️ Green Dating — recycling an old flame, at least until something new comes along 🎡 Groundhogging — keep dating the same type of person and wondering why you keep ending up in the same place 🪳 Roaching — secretly seeing multiple people while pretending to be exclusive. And yes, they issue a very real health warning with this one 🤷🏾‍♀️ Situationship — almost a relationship, romantic but undefined. Exciting or frustrating depending on what you actually want 👀 Orbiting — telling someone you're not interested, then lurking on all their socials. Ellyn and Paul both agree — that's just stalking This week's Mock Minute: Milo's Sweet Tea Lemonade — how it became a household staple and why Ellyn keeps two or three bottles on rotation at all times. Find it at Walmart, Sheetz, or Dollar General. Disclaimer: Ellyn and Paul are not therapists — just sharing their story to help others through it.
