Um... so, the fact that I say 'spice' instead of 'spouses' has caused the most entertaining reactions. Ehem.

(of course, the fact that I apparently refuse to say 'spouse' when there's no need actual reason for it to be plural is also... interesting)

nellorat, who has two, prefers that plural.

*nod* Oh, I muchly like that plural.

It's just that every so often I am reminded of how poor I am at keeping up any pretence at normalcy if I am interacting with people with whom I am sufficiently comfortable.

The fact that I'm far less careful to keep work and social lives separate at my current job is reminding me of this fact. :)

Also see Spice! (http://spice.keenspace.com/d/20040409.html), the polyfamilies webcomic ;)

Yep. I know that comic. :) And yes, mouse, mice.

Still caused amusing reactions from co-workers. ;)

Silly mainstream coworkers!

I've gotten some weird, weird looks when I extended that to "hice".

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

As a plural of 'house'?

[leiacat.livejournal.com]

Yup. Usually in the context of "So what are you doing nowadays?" "Oh, selling hice."

Aaaaah. :)
