如果你的男友或女友一直拖著不帶你去見他/她的家人和朋友，很可能并不想和你天長地久，你只是他/她的地下戀人。這種遮遮掩掩的戀愛就叫stashing。

截圖來自El Toper網站

Stashing is when you're in a relationship with someone and you refuse to introduce them to your friends and family; mostly because you view the person as temporary, replaceable.

如果你和某人談戀愛但卻拒絕將其介紹給你的朋友和家人，這就叫stashing。大多是因為你認為目前交往的戀人是臨時的，隨時可以換掉。

例句：

Friend: "Hey have you met John's parents yet? You've been together for months."

朋友：嘿，你見過約翰的父母了嗎？你們已經在一起好幾個月了。

Stashee (or person being stashed): "No, I think he's stashing me. We don't have any pictures together either."

地下戀人：沒見過，我認為我是他的地下戀人。我們也沒拍過任何合照。
