Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning

Narrator: Today's word is Cuffing — noun, pronounced /ˈkʌfɪŋ/, with the stress on cuff.

Narrator: Cuffing refers to the trend of people seeking out serious romantic relationships specifically during the colder autumn and winter months.

Narrator: In plain English, it describes the desire to be paired up with someone to stay cosy and avoid being single while the weather is miserable.

Narrator: The term originates from the idea of being handcuffed to another person, suggesting a temporary but restrictive social commitment.

Narrator: A common collocation is cuffing season, which describes the annual period starting in autumn when these short-term pairings typically increase.

Narrator: It differs from dating, which implies a long-term search for a partner rather than a seasonal desire for companionship.

Narrator: The phrase is also used to discuss the social pressures that drive people to settle down before the festive holidays.

Narrator: Sociology and digital dating culture are the primary fields that rely on this term to track modern relationship behaviours.

Narrator: So remember: cuffing is that seasonal urge to lock in a partner when the temperature drops to keep the loneliness at bay.
