straight sex, bromance, bouillons (French for broth), Bromantic interest

The genre of "bromantic comedy" has its own Wikipedia entry. A hug between men is now a "bro-hug". Why do we invent new words to describe timeless male affection? http://econ.st/1Kf9W2p

Bromantic interest

LAST week Johnson featured depressing evidence that old-fashioned gender-attitudes are still very much with us, in looking at “sexism” and “misogyny”. But...

Bone broth--the "new" culinary trend--is as old as restaurants themselves. By the late eighteenth century, "those who were sensitive and supposedly suffering made public show of their delicacy by going to the new establishments known as 'restaurateurs' rooms' and there sipping their bouillons (French for broth)."

Bill and Barry are together again. But this was a union made by transaction, not a bromance.


Bromance is a portmanteau of the words bro or brother and romance. Editor Dave Carnie coined the term in the skateboard magazine Big Brother in the 1990s to refer specifically to the sort of relationships that develop between skaters who spent a great deal of time together.^[2]

 中國的「同直婚姻」牽涉約四千萬人，「直女」「直男」

美國《紐約時報》網站5月13日文章，原題：透視中國 “同直婚姻”現象張貝川(音)是青島大學附屬醫院的研究人員，他正在收集一些關於數百萬中國“同直婚姻*” (即同性戀與異性戀*的婚姻——編者註)的故事。這些故事當中多數涉及欺騙，並夾雜著暴力和性傳播疾病。

*直

Straight 

1. heterosexual
2. used to describe a person who does not participate in "dangerous" activity such as drugs, alchohol, sex or criminal activity. A good girl/guy.
3. to tell it straight - to tell the truth 

　　“兩年來我一直溝通的一名女性這個月告訴我，她上高中的女儿知道了父母的婚姻實情，和她爸就此發生爭執。”張女士說，“女兒告訴她爸，'這些年來你一直傷害我媽媽。我一點都不歧視同性戀，但像您這樣的人結婚和傷害別人，真的可鄙'。”

　　據估計，中國現在涉及同直婚姻的人數有4000萬。很多針對這個人群的研究把焦點對准在不知情的情況下嫁給“男同”的“女直”身上。不過，中國學者已開始聚焦性別硬幣的另一面：娶了“女同”的“男直”。

　　嫁給“男同”的“女直”在中國叫做“同妻”;娶了“女同”的“男直”叫“同夫”。過去3年，哈爾濱工業大學社會學者唐魁玉領導的研究團隊已經發表10篇關於同直婚姻的論文。他們在文中寫道，“同夫”群體活得比“同妻”群體好一些。“男直”從“女同”身上感染性傳播疾病的可能性小，“同夫”婚姻的性行為要比“同妻”婚姻多。　　

“同夫”群體在離婚方面更容易，也更為迅速，因為他們一般在財力上比“女同”更有保障。一旦發現妻子是“女同”，他們比較容易再婚和生兒育女，但嫁給​​“男同”的大齡女性重組家庭會更加困難。研究者寫道，由於這些原因，“同夫”更傾向於提出離婚，使此類婚姻的數量縮減。(作者狄雨霏，傳文譯)

『據估計，中國的「同直婚姻」牽涉約四千萬人。很多針對「同直婚姻」的研究都把重心放在「直女」上。她們在不知情下嫁給男同志，因而視自己為受害者。不過，中國的研究人員也開始將焦點擴展至性別的另一面：娶了女同志的「直男」。』
