I’ve coined some new lingo with my suitemate today that I think will be useful to every girl who’s ever been involved with a guy and then had to recreate their relationship with him on a platonic level. There’s no word in the English language to describe that kind of relationship - a friend and an ex but more complicated, more bittersweet. So we’ve decided that these kinds of guys are sour patch kids. Read on to see why:

Last year I dated a guy who was all kinds of crazy and made me all kinds of crazy (good and bad). We ended horribly - the kind of breakup that involves a lot of bad language, secrets coming out that should never be revealed, facebook blocking, and months of silent treatment. And now seven months later we’re talking again and trying to be friends. It’s impossible for us to ever be friends the way we’re friends with other people - we’ve hurt each other too much for full trust and seen too much of the other person for full platonicity. It’s impossible for us to ever be lovers again because there’s too much damage. But the chemistry existed for a reason so it’s fun to be around him.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden had been together for 9 months until recent rumors said they broke up. Paris’ rep had claimed the two were still together but after Vanessa had blabbed off, they were forced to confirm. What a bitch!

BFF contestant Vanessa Fontana told all when being interviewed by Life & Style that “Paris and Benji have split.” She then continued to say that nothing happened between Paris and ex-beau Staros Niarchos – “Paris and Benji were loyal and faithful to each other.” Some best friend eh?

I feel bad for Paris although I never really thought her and Benji went well together.

I’ve recently been using some acronyms around my girl friends to gossip about boys and relationship issues that I have to stop and define because they’ve never heard it used before. Here are a few shorthands, some common knowledge and some not, that are in my vocabulary and have made talking about these things that much easier/funnier ;)

OTP - On the Prowl
Ex. My boyfriend and I just broke up so I’m back OTP.

DTR - Define the Relationship
Ex. I’ve been hooking up with this guy but I don’t know what he’s thinking. Is it time to DTR?

LDR - Long Distance Relationship
Ex. LDRs are tough but I believe they can work if both sides are fully committed and the LD will end in some foreseeable future.

SO - Significant Other
Ex. Boyfriends, husbands, fiancees, etc.

PDA - Public Display of Affection
Ex. He’s not big into PDA, but it’s not ridiculous of me to want to hold hands in public sometimes, right?

TLC - Tender Loving Care; ISO - In Search Of
Ex. I’m ISO TLC.
