cupboard love noun insincere love professed in order to get somethingFor that matter, I can think of a few folks who could stand to be reminded that this is a bad thing.
For that matter, I could probably point out some people who apparently have never been told that there's anything wrong with playing people along.
Sigh.
P.S. Cupboard love is hard to say, or at least it strikes me as hard to deliver in such a way that a person who was unfamiliar with the phrase would understand without an explanation. Does anyone know of other words or phrases (suitable for polite company, I mean), that cover the same ground but aren't so vague to the ear?
