| Description: | When she's not honest...When used by a girl or woman about another female in a non-sexual, non-romantic context, the two-word form "girl friend" is sometimes used to avoid confusion with the sexual or romantic meaning. "Girlfriend" is usually used in terms of very close friends and usually has no sexual connotation in that sense of its usage, but it can, in the case of lesbian and bisexual women. The term also has currency in LGBT communities and can refer to people of any gender or sexuality.[ |
