Do you call your female friends girlfriend?

  • 12.07.2012 9:16 PM PDT

Because "girlenemy" sounds too weird

OT: they are friends, and I think it's similar to how we use words with double meanings. The value of the word (the type of affection related to the use of girlfriend) just depends on the context. Why? It's just something society has adopted as a social norm for referring to a significant other.

If your girlfriend/boyfriend isn't your friend, you're doing it wrong.

But I have boyfriends and girlfriends. But they're not romantic like.

You have boy friends and girl friends. Not boyfriends and girlfriends. Take note of the spaces.

Halo 3

I honestly want to say it like this:

I have a lot of boyfriends
I have a few girlfriends
I am not in a relationship...



I mean it sounds totally retarded when a girl says "my guy-friend".

  • 12.07.2012 9:46 PM PDT

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Because they're friends... who are girls.

Are you genuinely this stupid? Clearly there's a conflict of terms.

Ha. I never said they weren't. But they do have their differences.

Because that's the Merriam-Webster definition.

  • 12.07.2012 10:30 PM PDT

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

Well, your significant other can sometimes be considered your closest and best friend as well. Regardless, I don't have issue with the term.
