Polybit gender

Combines poly (from the Greek polus "much" and polloi "many") with bit (binary digit).

An alternative to the term non-binary gender which acknowledges that it is possible to count above two in binary so long as you use two or more bits. For instance with 2 bits you get 4 genders, 3 bits 8 genders, and 32 bits you get 4,294,967,296 genders. In general, with n bits there are two to the power of n possible genders.

poly overshare

The necessity and compulsion to share every single fucking thought or emotion with polyamorous partners, for the purpose of avoiding the minor miscommunications or misunderstandings that may not complicate a monogamous relationship, but which may snowball when there are three or more people involved.

Will cause poly relationships to develop at a ridiculous pace, as nothing is ever kept to one's self. Will also seem really, really crazy sometimes.

Omg I'm sorry I was a little distant just now; I was worried I might feel a little neglected eventually, even though I'm not feeling that way at all right now. I was just imagining how it might feel some day. Also, I kind of resent you for that eventuality.

Fuck, that was quite the poly overshare, huh.
