I don’t speak Spanish, but I do dabble in learning it occasionally, when I have time. But I’ve found it super useful for certain things. I dated a nonbinary guy a while back, and while he did use he/him pronouns, he was very uncomfortable with the term “boyfriend,” and girlfriend didn’t fit either. We settled on novie. Neither of us speak Spanish, but it just fit way better.

It made both of us very happy to piss off conservatives in two languages.
