Definition: That spontaneous combustion of lust between two people who absolutely shouldn’t be hooking up—defying logic, timing, or social norms. Think a stern Red Cross volunteer whisking you home post-war, or a “let’s take it slow” date suddenly tearing off your clothes by the pool.
It’s the universe dropping a surprise collab where chemistry hijacks the script: ex-wife’s nemesis, your buddy’s FWB mid-hangout, or your old French teacher years later. Zero buildup, maximum shock factor, leaving you wondering if life’s just a chaotic rom-com with better acoustics.
Example:
Rival academics, debating fiercely all conference, found themselves in a spontaneous combustion of lust against the hotel elevator wall, defying all professional norms.
Their “just friends” road trip dissolved into zero-buildup passion at a roadside motel, chemistry hijacking the script the moment the door closed.
