This is why you use semisexual instead of bisexual. It removes the ambiguity

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

why not hemisexual instead of hetero.

tri-tetra, penta, septasexual.

[–] DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Nah, it's like a multi-tool situation. Does every kind of sexual but isn't very good at any of them.

Lol, this is why I started using fortnightly, to me biweekly means every two weeks, but nobody else I work with agrees

[–] Lumun@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

I just avoid the word entirely at work. 'Twice a week' and 'twice a month' take the same amount of time to say. Even 'every two weeks' is barely longer.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 18 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

As opposed to semi-weekly?

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

If anyone suggested that I have forgotten! That's a good idea

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Where do you work? I think biweekly has taken to mean 2 weeks, I expect the exception is UK.

[–] degen@midwest.social 3 points 13 hours ago

You just made me think of Fortnitely, so thanks for that I guess. Somehow I think it will always mean 'about 8 years ago' lol

I agree biweekly is every-other, but biannual means the same as semiannual to me, and I don't know where that leaves me... There's also biennial for every-other though.

In any case, I propose biweekly and byweekly cause you pass one by. Not any better spoken, but still.

Bicyclists are two gender fluid people sharing a single peddle-powered contraption.

[–] degen@midwest.social 9 points 13 hours ago

Our preferred pronouns are Bi/Cy

[–] sevan@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Obviously, twice per sexual would be semi-sexual.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 11 hours ago

isnt "semi-" partial? so half a sexual? this is the the second time today i've been confused by this.

[–] molten@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Twice per year would be semi-yearly?

[–] blujan@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago

Semi-annual

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Huh. I guess no one says "monosexual"

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

"No mono" doesn't have the same ring to it. Unless you're indicating that you don't have mono, in which case, it's... informative?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

mononucleosis.

[–] moody 4 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

You don't need the mono- if there's only one. It's just sexual.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

No that is ambigous, it could also mean the opposite of asexual (aka allosexual)

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 5 hours ago

Sometimes you do. Like monologue. Monogamy. Hm but I guess the root isn't a whole word in those cases.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I schedule biweekly meetings biweekly.
