fromances

I thought this blog had reached a new linguistic low when I first used the term "bromance." Clearly, I was wrong.

Now there are "fromances."

This woman introduces us to the concept, a convenient meshing of "friendship" and "romance." Enter fromance -- a friendship with a member of the opposite sex that's dominated by thoughts of "what if." As in, "what if we hooked up."

The term is cute, but it loses some credibility when you consider how many people think friendships between men and women are all fromances.

Thoughts?
