That's auspisticizing, right? Did I spell that correctly? Someone else was clearing all that up for me. I think he was kinda offended that I implied having both a matesprit and a kismesis was cheating, but I get that it isn't like that for trolls. Totally different feelings, he said. [Not that she knows how to feel about that herself yet or anything.]
Whoa, why wouldn't friends be a good thing? I'm starting to think I need to make a PSA explaining human friendship to all of you.
But okay, getting things confused and needing to work it out for yourself is something I understand right away. Sometimes humans are okay with them mixing, but sometimes they aren't supposed to and it ends with jealousy and your best friend's girlfriend falling through some stairs and getting impaled on a pole, so I don't recommend it, generally, at least in terms of romance mixing. (Friendship is never romance for humans, by the way. That is a big no no.) But a lot of the time... yeah, I get what you're saying, and I think you're right.
As for the last thing... Significant other means the person you're dating. Almost every human you meet will want to have just one. Also, we can only reproduce with a male/female pair, so biology and society strongly encourages male/female dating-- that's why they're divided by gender. Boyfriend/girlfriend are unmarried, and husband/wife are married, with both of those being male/female. Marriage means you've committed to someone for the rest of your life, and intend to never date anyone else aside from them your whole life long.
The human sexuality lecture is a long one, though. Just because heterosexuality is the accepted norm (male/female) doesn't mean gay stuff doesn't happen (male/male, female/female). Heck, up until yesterday I thought I was only into the ladies, but based on Eridan's reaction to that, I'm not sure trolls can really appreciate the idea. [And she was aching to talk to a plain old human about her sexual self-identity mini-crisis.] Anyway... I'd think of him as my boyfriend if we were going out, yeah. I just use your new-fangled troll terminology because it's convenient when talking to all of you.
filter - I do!! it was delicious B)
