This one is my favorite, but honorable mention should go to queerplatonic. It's friendship, but, I don't know, queer somehow? Maybe you listen to a lot of Tegan and Sara when you hang out? Is there a queer handshake involved? I have so many questions and so few answers.

[(Anonymous)]

So far as I can tell, queerplatonic means you're very close friends but you're not in a romantic relationship. (For those of you who read Homestuck: moirallegiance appears to be a pretty close analogue, and to predate at least the naming of the queerplatonic by several months.)

I understand the concept, but not why it needs such an incomprehensible name. Then again, I have definite conservative views on the importance of proper word creation from known words or components (basically: I should be able to take your word apart into its components and come up with the rough meaning), so you can disregard me on that if you want.

[(Anonymous)]

So basically BFF's but with a heavy does of best and sharing the same gender?

[(Anonymous)]

They don't have to be the same gender. The queerplatonic is theoretically open to any combination of people who care to call themselves that. Emphasis on the theoretically.

[(Anonymous)]

....I need to know the context this was used. It's making me giggle.

[dreemyweird]

AFAIK queerplatonic is just same-sex platonic romance.

[(Anonymous)]

Pssst, it's called friendship.

[dreemyweird]

Platonic romance is called friendship???
Like???????

...I'm no connoisseur of romance, being an aromantic/asexual myself, but something tells me you've got it all wrong, anon.

[(Anonymous)]

You can't have a platonic romance. Platonic is specifically used to distance a relationship from romance. It would be like having a white black.

[dreemyweird]

"Platonic" means "non-sexual". Asexuals aren't necessarily aromantic, hence platonic romance is a possibility.

[(Anonymous)]

....no

[dreemyweird]

It may mean "non-romantic" OR "non-sexual".
