eventual
Use this word when you are talking about something that will definitely happen, but not until after a long time or a series of other events. Be careful not to confuse "eventual" with the French word "éventuel," which means "possible." In English, "eventual" implies that the outcome is certain to happen eventually.

🎬Tuesday afternoon, Leo is in his room gaming while David is at the office.

Still on that game? Think about your eventual college apps, champ.
Leo Smith

David uses 'eventual' to refer to the inevitable end-goal of Leo's current life stage (college applications). Leo responds with Gen-Z slang 'capping' (lying) and 'grinding' (working hard/repetitive effort), highlighting the generational gap in their communication styles.
