I assert that Randy is right here, and I have an actual degree in linguistics. :P There is no way to wrest the definition of "harem" away from the way it is used in your social circle in a way that will let you escape.

But my socal circle fiddled with the definition just so that it _WOULD_ apply! How does _that_ make it even vaguely accurate? ;)

(also, my toes are safe enough, even with a bunch of y'all around.)

Your toes are only safe because we have no attention span whatsoever!

*snorting laughter*

My toes are safe because of 'ooooh, shiny!'

I was actually being true to my gut use of the word (see my response to your later post). Not that I'm claiming any moral superiority here--I would have changed my definition in a second if it had started not applying. But as it happened I was accidentally virtuous :-}.

*giggling* That's possibly the best phrase ever. Accidentally virtuous!
