There are those pop psychology phrases all over in some trendy web places and blog sites.

How do people manage to say anything in that lingo with a straight face? “They are such a narc, they love bombed me after weeklong breadcrumbing.” “Omg that’s abuse, I hope they kts”

It seems like nowadays no matter what you do there’s a word for it and it’s probably considered something horrible by someone somewhere.

If you have more funny examples of literal abuse please post them in the comments. For now I found:

Love Bombing – Overwhelming someone with excessive affection, gifts, or attention early in a relationship to manipulate them. Breadcrumbing – Leading someone on with sporadic attention or vague promises but never committing. Hoovering – When an ex (often toxic) tries to suck you back into a relationship after a breakup. Trauma Bonding – A strong emotional attachment formed through cycles of abuse and affection. Situationship – A romantic or sexual relationship that lacks clear definition or commitment. Zombieing – When someone ghosts you but suddenly reappears as if nothing happened. Future Faking – Making false promises about the future to keep someone invested in a relationship. Benching – Keeping someone as a backup option while exploring other romantic interests. Slow Fade – Gradually reducing communication instead of outright ghosting. Paperclipping – Randomly popping back into someone’s life with no real intention of reconnecting.
