Cuffing season
含义: The fall and winter months when single people seek out relationships to have a partner during the cold, cozy season.
Cuffing season typically runs from October through March. The idea is that cold weather and holidays make people crave companionship, so they 'cuff' themselves to a partner — like handcuffs. These relationships may or may not last past spring. The concept has become a widely discussed cultural phenomenon on social media every autumn.
