I, like bard_bloom am bi-fretful about 'bi-curious'. I usually take it to mean 'closeted and/or iggerant', which I learned long ago to avoid.

Posting or asking about crushes in here feels too, I don't know, pressure-y and exhibitionist-ish. I don't want to do it.

I'm glad that you're tranlating the word 'conservative' into exshull English: it's a subversive thing these days to expose weaselly word-stealing!
