Oh, and speaking of words and phrases making one look ridiculous....
Relationship, not relation.
Ridiculously, not rediculously.

Status: offline 		Well, the term "Unicorn" is a colloquialism, like other words or terms used as such, it's purpose is to convey a thought easily and succinctly. To that end it does have a meaning and purpose. As to the concept of a "Unicorn" entering a Poly House? Well like everything in life, it's a difficult arrangement to find, implement, nourish and be successful at. The interaction between 2 people is a difficult arrangement. Adding a third only exponentially compounds the difficultly.

I just think if everyone knows for a fact that it can not be found then yes mythicical unicorn should be said and I'm saying it can so why bother with the word! Thats all!

Ps. Feline fay. you can say an umbilical chord but you can not say an unicorn.
Its grammatically incorret, a unicron is how you say it!
To Lady Pact and Arpig if you don't care then why bother writing on this topic?
Prolific needs very funny I do like the idea! HaHa!!
EROTICDOMINANCE- I just think if people want to use that kind of word only use it if its a fact that they never happen, since they do for friends of mine I wouldn't use the word thats all!

That was back in the days when I wrote poetry while beating sluts. :-)

Status: offline 		Sunny27, have you thought of a word to replace the term you dislike ?

Often, folks keep using out-moded names, just out of habit or for lack of a better word.
My grt grandparents called the refridgerator an "icebox" as far back as i can remember.

i rather like unicorn as it is used by poly' folk.
quote:

A heraldic representation of such an animal, with a twisted horn, a deer's feet, a goat's beard, and a lion's tail

A little of this, a touch of that, to make a creature that is at home in fairy tales. i like that a happy relationship can be called a fairy tale. Fairy tales are full of perrils and adventure, nobody would read them if they weren't.

Excuse me.  Neither LP or Arpig said they didn't care.  LP said that she thought the term unicorn was a good one that described the difficulty in finding a third.  As Arpid has said, if you do not like the term, then you do not have to use it.  However, expecting everyone in the forum to do as you say is impractical. 

If you only want people who agree with you to reply in the forums, you will be sorely disappointed.  People tend to reply as they want to reply not as you wish them to reply. 


I like the term, unicorn.  It relays the idea that finding a bi sexual female to join a couple for a full relationship is not always easy.  It relays the idea that it might take a lot of searching to find that bi sexual female.  It also makes people aware that there are not 100s of bi sexual female submissives seeking couples as the beta female.  From what I have seen there are many female submissives willing to be part of a poly family, IF they are the alpha, the first submissive.  However, if the poly doesn't work they want to be the ones who are still part of a relationship.

Status: offline 		I rather like the word "unicorn." You can't prove they don't exist, yet they are very elusive and hard to find. Also, a "phrase" is two or more words, according to Dictionary.com:

phrase [freyz] Show IPA noun, verb, phrased, phras·ing.
noun
1.Grammar .
a.a sequence of two or more words arranged in a grammatical construction and acting as a unit in a sentence.
b.(in English) a sequence of two or more words that does not contain a finite verb and its subject or that does not consist of clause elements such as subject, verb, object, or complement, as a preposition and a noun or pronoun, an adjective and noun, or an adverb and verb.

The reason you are having difficulty with the word is because you are misunderstanding it. It is not used to refer to the object being mythical, griffon or chimera would work just as well if that were the case. In the myths, unicorns are elusive creatures, very, very hard to find and even harder to capture.

That is why the unicorn is used as the metaphor, rather than sphinx or dragon or any other mythological creature. It's not the existence of the "unicorn" that is being described, just its nature. It's not that they don't exist, it's that they are exceedingly rare, and hard to make yours when you do find one. And in that respect, the term "unicorn" is not only poetic, but 100%, spot on, hit the nail on the head accurate.

Nope.  Went back, read My own comment and nowhere does it say I didn't care.  What I did say was that I disagreed with you. 

Also, where did I say it never happened?  There are folks who are right here on these boards that prove that it does.  Yes, we are few, but we absolutely are here. 

Yet, success is not common.  That's the reality. 

There is no reason to attempt to fool people in thinking it's easy.  It's not.  Sure, polyfuckery is easy.  A poly household, not so much.
