Comet

Comet. kom-it Noun.
1. A person that passes through your life repeatedly who is intense and awesome, and when gone you are still in contact with that person in some way but they are not a continuous partner.

I have found there is a hole in the poly lexicon. The term "play partner" doesn't fit non-casual partners. Play sounds trite. Some of these relationships can span years and even decades. Some are very deep, with a combination of intimacy, friendship, admiration, and shared history. Poly circles use the term "play and pause" which also doesn't fit many of my "comets" as I don't pause. Many I stay in touch with daily or weekly.

Some comets come by every 18 months when the schedules line up or, to continue the metaphor, when the stars align. I have even heard some use the term partner-partner. As in, "they are a partner but not like a partner-partner." This is an example of that awkward lack of a term for someone who is somewhere between fully in your life at all times and a casual play play partner, that you like, but don’t have an ongoing connection with.
Ana is excited to have her comet Fredrico visit because they have hot sex and a deep connection. This is despite him living in Granada Spain and focusing on his poetry, while Ana lives in Seattle with her primary.

Crozet

A small hole-in-the-wall town that no one has EVER heard of. Instead of saying you're from this town, you tend to say you're from Charlottesville, because at least people have heard of that.
Home to Crozet Pizza and Sals, Blue Ridge Kettle Corn, Western Albemarle High School, Dave Matthews and Evan Almighty (probably the biggest thing to ever hit this little town).

Cardiff Comet

A land-based comet formation of Welsh human origin.
The Cardiff Comet was first spotted in the Cottage pub, Saint Mary Street, Cardiff on 16th August 2010. It consisted of a fat woman followed by 5 or more women of decreasing size.

It is not known whether the smaller women were fragments of the larger women or individuals in their own right.

The Cardiff Comet is thought to be less predictable than celestial comets but is easiest to spot on a Monday night when only hard drinkers are out in Cardiff. There may a correlation with the hen night.
