passing fancy


a novelty that captures the attention of the general public for a relatively brief period, until either people lose interest in it, or the next “big thing” comes along.

also, an infatuation or a temporary but intense emotional attachment toward an individual.
just as the hoola hoop of the late 1950s, so too did the rubiks cube prove to be a p-ssing fancy after it was introduced in the early 1980s.

i suppose sue’s brief relationship with tim was just a p-ssing fancy for her, as she’s since returned to her husband.
