I was like that when 'on fleek' was a thing, I soon realised the fleekers were tres pretentieuse.

well it seems clear enough to me

I also confess to not reading the link at first and imagined it to be something about armpit sniffing or summat.

(Other aromatic zones are available)

I'm like that when I see 'celebrities' mentioned on tv, because I've never heard of most of them. But then, I am well over retirement age!

Like Douglas, I too thought it was something to do with smelling .... multi-tasking noses perhaps. I couldn't quite work out how that might work .... but who knows?

Having read the link I understand it.

Sometimes I see tweets that have hundreds and thousands of likes but it either doesn't make sense or refers to something I've never heard of.

This sounds fun

Biroromantic: Romantic attraction towards ballpoint pens.

I usually have to read things like that link a couple of time to understand them.

What about Neuromantic?

When Spandau Ballet and Duran twice REALLY get on your nerves.

I think it's describing selfish people who have no feelings for anyone/anything but themselves.
Me, myself and I. Aromantic. Innit?

Having been introduced to someone who describes themself as male transgender, biromantic asexual I am not the slightest bit confused. It's only words after all its the people that matter. I will say the person concerned was a stunning young individual with genuine warmth and intelligence.

Panromantic? I quite like my frying pan but not that much.

Ah, I see I’ve had an answer removed. On a thread by Answerbank’s most high profile Mod. Mmm.
