Nonamory - Not wanting to form romantic relationships no matter one's orientation. Lush - A sensual equivalent of a squish or crush. you’d totally hold their hand and take them out to movies though. 'Prush' = 'Purely Platonic crush' where no cuddling/sensuality occurs.Īromate - A platonic friend who’s pretty much your soul-mate but in a friend way.

I just can't imagine using the word "squish" to describe my feelings for someone going up to someone saying "I have a squish on you".it sounds so wrong, and even seems kind of sexual.anyhow. I also have an inherent hatred for words which are adjectives comprising of nouns + the letter y), but anyway. But there's something about the word "squish" which really, really irritates me (blame OCD or perhaps AS.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: and you might like to check out the growing collection of curated slang words for different topics over at Slangpedia. There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.ĭue to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary.
