Say a friend wants to schedule a time to hang out, but I'm not sure when I'll be available, so we set a place-holder time that may be when we hang out or may not. What is this called? I feel like there's a word starting with 't' that works, but 'temporary time' doesn't sound right.

I'm looking for a verb which can convey the meaning of damaging or breaking something beyond repair. Here is a sample sentence:
"I didn't expect that of you! You just _____ my heart!"

Thanks!

caseous - of or like cheese
bovine - of or relating to cattle
glocal - of or relating to the interconnection of global...
here is the context : In light of Remark 1.18, it is peculiar that the modulus, which is only de ned in-terms of the order structure, also satis es the triangle inequality.
@Educ It's figurative (imaginative). Literally speaking, Remark 1.18 sheds some light on the problem. And with that light shining on it, this other thing seems peculiar.
It's similar to how we look at something from a different angle, or as if I were in someone else's shoes.
Which one is correct? Do I tell you? or Shall I tell you?
