'These terms reflect the growing discomfort with intimacy and vulnerability as we often take the 'quick fix,'' relationship therapist Dr. Adam Sheck told Newsweek.

Less than half of the U.S. population has tried online dating, but the terminology born from digital dumping has found a way into everyday language.

"These terms reflect the growing discomfort with intimacy and vulnerability as we often take the 'quick fix,'" relationship therapist Dr. Adam Sheck, also known as The Passion Doctor, told."Unfortunately, this does not allow us to grow through the challenges so that we can become the people who can eventually sustain a genuine, intimate, long-term relationship when we actually want to be in one.

"Much of my counseling practice is currently filled with couples who want to attempt to 'open' their relationship and work in the arena of consensual non-monogamy as an alternative," he explained."Again, there is no 'free lunch' and this choice, while a valid one, has its own challenges in order to sustain and grow in intimacy."Illustrator Samantha Rothenberg has started hundreds of debates about modern dating culture through her work.

Samantha Rothenberg's illustration that inspired the term"paperclipping" in October, as published on her Instagram @violetclair.As for how new phrases are born, Rothenberg noted it becomes too much when themes overlap."It becomes overkill when multiple terms are used to describe the same offense or the same offense with a slight variation," she said.
