     [ "non-habit-forming" ]

    1: A much-overused term that promises that a certain product or procedure will never result in the participant's feeling the overwhelming need to become a nun. This assurance is actually a bunch of BS, of course, since everyone is different --- so there is actually no way whatsoever of knowing for sure what effect something will have on a particular individual.

      * e.g.,  ... Beware of miracle-cure ads with money-back guarantees and assurances that the product/service is "non-habit-forming"... read the fine print... in the section where it specifies what types of mailing-addresses they'll accept, see if it says, "We do not ship to P.O. boxes or convents", indicating that they will refuse to mail you a refund if you have moved in with the Sisters of Mercy. :P
