hey if you have a pet or pets you need to reblog this rn and tell me in the tags what their names are. bonus points for including what kind of animal.
There's this thing where people talk about creating gender neutral language but only really remember the more silly or cutesy options.
Terms like nibling, which many people use because it's the one they actually remember, tend to be popular. I'm personally not a big fan of it. Largely because while it works to call a sibling's kid a nibling when that kid is five it feels infantalizing in a way niece/nephew does not when that same kid is now 20. Pibling, in the same vein, is silly in the same way as saying "smad" to mean a combination of sad and mad is. Like you can do it, but it's not exactly taking the assignment seriously.
Creating gender neutral language where previously there was none is kind of messy and inconsistent, but it is telling that the terms people remember and the ones that tend to take center stage are often the ones that are a bit silly. I don't think there's anything wrong with silliness. My nephews call me "Ankle" afterall, but there is something to be said about how attempts to push for serious gender neutral language often get shoved to the side in favor of ones that are silly and as such offer a nonthreatening appearance.
pibling is a word that makes sense logically (parent-sibling) but in practice sounds like the name of a freshwater shrimp or something
It absolutely does. Sounds like a cheap fried seafood platter. "I'll have the Pibling Platter with a side of nibling fries please."
