Non-sexual abuse-inducing bromanceship (n): a raw, untamed bond of absolute respect, trust, and loyalty between two individuals, void of any for their romantic partners.
Their non-sexual abuse-inducing bromanceship was so unhinged that they'd die for each other without hesitation; yet, ask them to hold the door open for their girlfriends, and they’d look at you like you just asked them to sacrifice their first-borns.
