"What's Andrgamy or are you trying to spell androgeny which has little to do with relationships or sex?"

I think he meant to spell "androgamy".Never saw it before, but looking at the parts it would mean "male marriage". I suppose the circles that lns moves in, they've been talking about it with a great deal of excitement...


And apparently making up words as they go along.....there is no word, androgamy, in Webster's. Frankly, I don't think shortie knew what he was talking about so it will become one of those thread mysteries best forgotten.
