Breadcrumbing To Paperclipping: Terms You Should Know Before Dating!

Isn’t it excruciating to scramble out of a broken relationship? The more you are sensitive, the more you feel broken. From Breadcrumbing to Zombieing, these dating terms will help you and keep you aware of modern dating. So here’s a list of terms to know before leaping into dating.    Breadcrumbing Breadcrumbing is when someone keeps appearing with flirtatious messages but without the real intention to follow the relationship. It’s often done by exes when you’re trying to move on. Pocketing Pocketing is when your partner hesitates to introduce you to his/her family, despite being in a relationship for a long time. Maybe they’re not interested in a long-term relationship.  Wokefishing  What if someone is just pretending to be a supporter of the same political and social views you have in an attempt to attract you and trap you? That’s wokefishing! Don’t trust the person behind the screen. Orbiting  Your partner has ghosted you with the intention to stop the relationship,  but continues orbiting around your social media by liking and viewing your posts. That’s orbiting!  Roaching  Roaching is cheating! If you ever find someone who secretly dates multiple people without informing his/her new lover, that’s roaching!  Eclipsing  Eclipsing is when someone dangerously gets out of their comfort zone to fit in with the partner’s personality traits. This can eventually scrape off one’s identity and dreams. Benching  With benching, you stay as a mere option. Your Partner neither wants to get truly committed nor wants to completely remove you. Thus, keep fuelling love only to keep you as an option. Textlationship Textlationship is a relationship that lives solely through texting. Partners in textlationship rarely meet in person. The rise of innumerous dating apps have fuelled textlationships.  Groundhogging  Groundhogging is going after the same kind of people but by expecting different results only to end up being shattered again and again.  Zombieing  Zombieing is the amalgamation of fleabagging and ghosting. If your ex shows up after ghosting as if nothing really happened, then they’re zombieing you. Sober Dating  This allows you to avoid drugs and alcohol while dating in an attempt to water an authentic relationship by being present in the moment with a clear mind.  Paperclipping  Paperclipping can be deeply frustrating. Even after cutting off the relationship, they show up only to make themselves feel better by sending sporadic messages, but then disappear again.

Let’s dive into the history and tradition of the movie and popcorn combination. It was 1929. The US was battling against The Great Depression. The country was slowly giving in to mass unemployment and deflation. Like every other industry, the entertainment industry was also dull. At that time, the Popcorn Idea emerged! The idea of selling the nice-smelling popcorn inside theaters. It happened as a revenue building strategy to the theater owners. Thus, the Popcorn entered theaters. But why Popcorn? Popcorn was the chosen super snack to sell at the theaters for a number of reasons. Firstly, it was easy to prepare at the theaters and its nice smell was a smooth selling advantage. Its sensory appeal and the lightness made it everyone’s favorite snack. Secondly, it’s an inexpensive snack. Easy to get the ingredients and easy to satisfy the buyers by selling it in significant markups. So, it became affordable to all. And most importantly, it was a clean snack which won’t make the theater floors greasy and dirty.  All these positives made it a go-to snack for the movie-goers and over the years, it has evolved as a tradition to have popcorn while watching movies.  To make this happen, both the movie theaters and popcorn industry have actively marketed the pairing. In particular, the phrase “Popcorn Time” became synonymous with entertainment hours. Gradually, the popcorn+movies became an important icon of pop culture. Now, the habit has grown to the extent that even while watching movies at home theaters and TVs, movie watchers couldn’t quit munching on the flavorful Popcorn.  All the way through, the significance that the Popcorn has attained in the movie culture hasn’t come easily. It is achieved through meticulous steps of brilliant marketing! Can anyone deny it? Follow for more such stories.
