Looking for tweets for girlfriend.
yarb I find it odd, too. In the UK a woman's femal friends are simply her "friends". Dec 30, 2010
ruzuzu Does it help if there's a space between the words for those times when it's a girl-who's-a-friend or a boy-who's-a-friend? Dec 29, 2010
Prolagus Same for me (I don't find it an ugly word, though).
Also, if a man referred to their male friends as "boyfriends", people would immediately think of something else... Dec 29, 2010
milosrdenstvi It's always really confused me when women refer to other female friends of theirs as "girlfriends". Can't really say why.
Besides all that, this is a rather ugly word. Dec 29, 2010
