It's a rather poetic term, isn't it?
Alienation of affection?
Did you know it dates to at least the 1800s and is a legal term associated with tort cases involving adultery?
I didn't know that, did you?
Who is doing the alienating?
Who the affecting?
Who is alienated from whom?
From whose affection?
What would "alienation of affectation" mean?
Does alienation of affection therefore result in bonding of disaffection?
Who doesn't feel alienated from affection now and then?
Know what I mean?
How would one insource such outsourcing of affection?
Do you think this is all just fun and games, merely wordplay?
How do you measure alienation?
How do you assess affection?
When do you know you've reached the state of "alienation of affection"?
What's the cure for alienation of affection?
What is this, twenty questions or something?
Are we done here?
