#i'm not gonna police anyone's language it jst annoys me bc it doesn't make sense to me

[docmerlin]

small but consistent pet peeve is the phrase "poly couple"

because....... unless you're talking about 2 people specifically, it's not a couple

2 people in a couple can be polyam/in an open relationship and therefore a "poly couple," and i always assume that's what people are talking about, but it seems most of the time they're talking about three or more people in a polycule

which is not a couple

it's a triad+ (quad, polycule, constellation, etc etc)
