[ The best way to deal with crippling revelations is to make inane posts. Well. Maybe not so inane since he is genuinely lost. ]

What is the different between a boyfriend and a boy friend? Are there various levels of friendship that are distinguished by sex? The online literature on this subject is perplexing in nature. How does one earn these titles?

WHY AM I LIKE THIS

[dothelokimotion]

I was not aware that you too suffered from a lack of midgardian culture and boyfriends.

[ikols]

shut up SHUT UP
Why can't you just ask me about Midgardian culture!!

[dothelokimotion]

[ Huh. ]

Why would I?

[ikols]

What about me screams 'I have never been to Midgard'!?

[dothelokimotion]

I couldn't tell. I'm not well-versed in these things.

[ read: he's an asshole and this is funny. ]

[ikols]

[ HE IS AN ASSHOLE AND THIS ISN'T FUNNY. Loki's rep!! ]

Who SO POORLY introduced you to the term in question??

[dothelokimotion]

A man named Leonard McCoy. Apparently people no longer use the term lover. It is too archaic.

[ikols]

[ McCoy, ur on his shit list. ]

Call them what they are, One Night Stands.

[dothelokimotion]

I thought that would be prostitution. Did Midgard invent new terms for everything?

[ikols]

NOT UNLESS YOU ARE GETTING PAID

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps I shall invest some money to procure you a boy friend then.

[ Oh! Oh! Angela knows this one! She's actually lived on Earth for some time and has heard the things they call each other. ]

A boyfriend is a lover, while a boy friend is a boy who is a friend, without any romantic implications. The same applies to girlfriend/girl friend. Though some Earth women do refer to their girl friends as girlfriends. That is where it gets truly confusing.

[ikols]

Being a facetious whelp is really helping you talk yourself out of something I had planned.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Damn. That piques his curiosity. ]

What have you planned?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki can't help a faint fond smile to himself. ]

You are a fountain of true knowledge, sister.

So a girl who is a friend can be both? And yet there is no way to distinguish the romantic context?

[ikols]

[ HAH. ]

You're no longer invited.

[dothelokimotion]

[ "Invited" implies a place or an event. ]

Oh dear. I suppose I will make do with paying Stark to explain these one night stands with me.

[hevenly]

Earth women are truly confusing. One once referred to my beloved as my "gal pal," even when it was heavily implied that we had romantic feelings for one another.

[ AKA they were being blatant with the PDA. ]

I think the concept of same-sex romantic affection still baffles them, largely.

[ikols]

[ His life is a sitcom nightmare, that's what this is. ]

Which Stark? Why in Odin's name are you PAYING that man for ANYTHING???

[dothelokimotion]

Still?

Perhaps I had given them too much credit in the past.

[dothelokimotion]

Both, perhaps. After all, I do not know what the rules are to these strange and mysterious new customs. I must start somewhere.

[hevenly]

They are a most baffling people. Many of their customs are unfamiliar to me, and dangerous to navigate.

[ikols]

You are winning no games, striking no blows except those LITERALLY against yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

I have never needed to, before. And sadly I have lost those who would elucidate me on these matters.

[ Alas, poor mind controlled Barton. Loki misses him sometimes. ]
