special besties

one step up from besties. two (or more) people, often of the same sex, who have an ambiguously romantic “friendship”. they usually engage in “platonic” physical affection or have a married couple like dynamic.

these kind of relationships in media tend to be related to queer coding or queerbaiting.

are sarah and olivia, you know, special besties? they seem REALLY close.
