asterrocEvery year or so I come up with a situation that just really needs a new word. I've only had one stick around so far, that was "justfriend" (as a single word). Well, co-invented by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
poludamas and myself, not sure which of us takes more credit on that one, probably him. :-P A justfriend is a person who has a crush on you but you only want to be friends with them, and they're oblivious to that fact or are good at ignoring it, but you actually do still want to be friends with them.
marquiswildbill recently posted a new word I liked, "anti-fiancee." If a fiancee is someone you're in the process of marrying, an anti-fiancee is someone you're in the process of anti-marrying. If you can't put two and two together on this one and figure out what that means, you should be reading a different type of blog than mine. :-P
And now the moment you've all been waiting for - drum roll, maestro!
Halfhole
I invented halfhole this weekend due to a situation I was in. A halfhole is someone who is being a bit of an asshole to you, but not a complete asshole. For example, the cop that pulled me over for doing 52 in a 35 zone could have been an asshole (in my esteemed circumstantial opinion) for pulling me over, but he was instead a halfhole for giving me a written warning. Other:
Sometimes halfholes make you want to laugh, sometimes they get you really pissed at yourself because they're not quite assholeish enough for you to get pissed at them without feeling guilty. Feel free to add your own examples of halfholes (or invented words) in a comment! :)

- The jerk who cut you off but had his turn signal on.
- The student who tells you he could've gone to the dean but instead prefers to "work things out" with you.
- The parent who says he's just trying to help you and is acting in your best interest.
- The boss who gives a very good, rational, and polite explanation of why she won't give you a raise.
