The term was coined by Roflgator after he started regularly visiting the Neko Nights Night Club hosted by Lanfear and Oathmeal on Fridays.
The Neko Nights "Friday Fling" is a pretend arrangement without any real romantic interest, pairing two people together, similarly to shipping. Contrary to shipping it is established by one of the subjects themselves and doesn't involve any actual romance or courtship.
Etymology - History of the terminology
Roflgator became a regular visitor to the Neko Nights Night Club in October 2019.
There he tried to convince Oathmeal to become his "Friday Fling" similarly to Chipz and Lanfear who he described as "VRChat's ultimate power couple" and role models for being successful celebrity streamers in VRChat.
He had no success in his advances and was repeatedly rejected but the term stuck and continued to be referred to by him and others as a recurring joke that inspired further formations of new "Friday flings".
When you visit Neko Nights regularly every Friday, you need to find your own "Friday fling", right?
When TheBigMeech was invited to Neko Nights as well he at first tried to pursue Lanfear but was rejected after he played her a song and tried for Kohrean to become his "Friday fling" instead.
At the end of 2019 neither Roflgator or Meech has yet to get any kind of acceptance from Oathmeal or Kohrean in any way aside from them posing in photos or giving head pats.
