Single but hooking up with other people
I'm single-ish, like I went out with Jake last night and Trevor the night before that, and Josh last friday, etc.
Single-ish by soldiergirl April 17, 2008
I philosophy/lifestyle on love and relationships in which one remains single in the sense of not entering any kind of committed relationship but continues to date and enjoy non-platonical relationships with not intentions to start one. They do not want to simply have sex with people or they would just be a player.

They are crucially open about their desires and do not lead anyone into thinking they mean to commit more than they do.
Preston's so cute, is he single?

I've heard he's singleish.

singlish 

Itโ€™s the native language in Singaporeโ€ฆ Apparently.
A colloquial dialect that is somewhat similar to Manglish (A colloquial dialect in Malaysia) and is just as intimidating to those who are not familiar with this form of dialogue. Contrary to popular belief, people who converse in singlish are not retarded. It is just an articulated form of the โ€œcultureโ€ being expressed through incoherent speech.
It goes something like this:
โ€œWhat lah โ€“ (insert a bunch of made up words that make you go โ€œWTFโ€ here) โ€“ Mee Siam.โ€

The government had a huge hoo-hah concerning the liberal usage of this language some years back. This was clear evidence that the government had way to much free time on their handsโ€ฆWayy โ€“ too โ€“ much โ€“ free โ€“ time!
Prime minister of Singapore addressing to the nation: โ€œIโ€™ve had enough of this popcockery! Singlish must goโ€ฆ Now!โ€
Singaporeans: โ€œawwwww โ€ฆbuggermaquilt.โ€

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
