one day stand

A term used by transients and travelers to describe a friendly relationship between two, previously unacquainted parties. The relationship develops quickly and ends abruptly as one or both parties is just passing through or soon to leave town.

Man: What'd you do yesterday?

Woman: I met this incredible couple from up north at the cafe. They're on a train trip around the country. We laughed and shared stories for hours until they had to head back to the station for their departure.

Man: Classic one day stand. It's too bad they couldn't stay longer; sounds like you really hit it off.
