Important polyamory question:

What do y'all call your partner's metamours that don't date you?

@salad_bar_breath If your metamour also dates you, then they're also your partner.

I've never heard "second metamour", but that sounds like the metamour of a metamour.

"metamour twice removed" I can't even begin to puzzle out.

@dragonfrog yeah, I think "once removed" would probably be better, though these apply to generations, so twice removed sounds better.

A 2nd cousin isn't a cousin's cousin, it would be a parent's cousin's child...

This would be more asking about a metamour's partner (that isn't your partner). Or a partner's metamour (that isn't another partner).

So, I dunno. 🤷‍♀️

@salad_bar_breath usually just “partner’s metamour!”

@salad_bar_breath i figure that if i’m calling them a partner’s metamour as opposed to my partner, it carries the implication we’re not dating (or else i’d have chosen the more familiar term)

@rowan that seems like the right thing to do lol

@salad_bar_breath metametamour or twice metamour :)

@tryst oooooo

What about metamourmour? Lolol

@salad_bar_breath @tryst me2mour

@salad_bar_breath meta-meta-meta

@jepyang omg could you imagine if that polycule chain was just like af, and you had to make a song out of to describe a very distance metamour? lol

@jepyang @salad_bar_breath Soon Rayne will be like: OK, you got 20 minutes? Let me give you a quick run-through of the polycule graph.

(I was originally going to post the Always Sunny in Philadelphia Pepe Silvia meme, but this one seemed more appropriate.)

@sidepony @jepyang I AM FUCKING OBSESSED WITH POLYCULE MAPS!!!!

@salad_bar_breath metametamourmour! (in the voice for “chugga chugga choo choo”)
