Fair Weather

applied to someone who is present only when things are going well or when they need something, but at the first sign of trouble/hardship, they disappear faster than brittney spears’s career

in sports, the term is often confused with a bandwagoner, but unlike bandwagon fans, a fair weather fan initially has some interest in the team, but they want nothing to do with them when tough times occur. as soon as the team starts to turn things around and starts winning, they act as if they been there through thick and thin.

a fair weather friend is more of an -ssociate/acquaintance. they aren’t truly your friend, but you talk to them enough to somewhat know them personally. they act nice to you when they need something, but as soon as you need them to return the favor, they are nowhere to be found. a true friend is there for you no matter what.

this term can be applied to anything in life, but these are the most common.

i hate seeing all those fair-weather red sox fans that came out of nowhere after the 2004 world series.
a dude that thinks the way to a womans heart is to follow them around like some kind of pathetic emotionally attached lapdog, then when they become friends with him proceed to try his own version of s-x, which is a collection of r-t-rded noises/inserting said spasticated hand into their meat curtain, then blaming all of that on his obvious ‘loose screw’ then proceeding to follow them around at school wearing his famous ankle swingers and poking his oversised nose into other peoples business/private areas, which then results in an army of people breaking said nose and he then crawls back on all fours (or as we know it, ‘fairweather shuffle’) to some other girl which has sympathy for him, then repeats until is murdered.
