I laugh a bit for "gros" because in French it means "fat".

People usually say grayro for grey aromantic. I don't know for gray aces but graces is nice. Or maybe grayces to be like grayros.

Yeah, I posted this on AVEN and the replies mentioned that, heh/lh

I believe gray-aros can go by the term "greyros" or "grayros" depending on your spelling of grey/gray. Not sure about ace lingo, though, sorry! I do like the idea of "graces", that sounds nice.

And no worries! Hop on over to the introductions page and say hi anytime

Overall, thanks, grayro def sound a lot better than gro, it sounds much more positive when pluralized ?/lh

So, I also posted this on AVEN, and learned they already use grace?

Hey, so I’ve been doing research on the labels lithromantic/apromantic/akoiromantic and I would like to know more about their origins, how they were coined, who they were coined by (I know that lithromantic was coined by stopanthropomorphizingme) the meaning behind their word roots according to their creators, really, anything about their history that I can get my filthy hands on; so if anyone knows anything that would be appreciated.

Okay, so I googled a bunch of possible roots and found the root apo, meaning away or apart; and ap, meaning around or apart; so either away/apart from romantic attraction, or around/apart from romantic attraction; which sort of lines up with its official definition? This is just a temporary guess, once I find either who made it, the platform it was coined on, or just the general reasoning behind the structure of the word, I’ll add it here. Or if anyone knows that would be great, but I just posted this, I’m new, and there’s a good chance I did this wrong so yeah

Anyone know the history of this orientation? How it was made, the meaning behind how it was made, what the word roots mean, etc.? Trying to figure out an alternative to lithromantic that I feel comfortable with

What if we called gray-aces graces and gray-aros gros? (Also if this looks bad I’m sorry I’m still learning this site)

(Edit: grace is already a commonly used term, and the shortened term for gray-aros is grayros or greyros depending on your spelling)
