    A passing fancy means someone/something that has caused a temporary fixation or appreciation for an individual but whose effect has eventually died down after a short period of time.

  • flings like having sex with someone you meet on vacation if its not that it might be a fad or trend like polo shirts. It kind of depends the on words befor and after for example : You and all your passing fancies will never add up the woman I am.

    I think I'll chuck it all and live on a beach in the Carribean.
