Abate- to become less intense
Ex: “Like the waves in the moments following a passing sea storm, my feelings for you have abated”
“When did you become such a poet? What happened to my husband, the foul-mouthed plumber?”
“Like the flush on a low water-pressure toilet, my attraction towards you has noticeably weakened. Like the efficiency of a plunger with a plastic handle, my pull towards you just doesn’t feel as strong as the real thing.”
“I look at you and I feel like I don’t even know you anymore. Where are you picking up this language?”
“Someone left a Samuel Clemenstein book above their toilet that I was fixing the other day.”
“That explains it.”
That was a great plug 🤣😂
