I wish we said “fancy” in America. As in, “I fancy you.” It’s such a more agreeable term than “I have a crush on you.” What’s a crush? Like, I AM A BOA CONSTRICTOR AND I AM GOING TO IMMOBILIZE YOU WITH MY MISPLACED AND OBSESSIVE AFFECTION. “I fancy you” is like, you’re so shiny and glittery and I just want to put you on a shelf and look at you for a while ‘cause you’re fancy.
I like this! “Squish” is not a word I particularly like, and “fancy” sounds like it could be acey.
Also, if we transplanted it to America it wouldn’t have as many connotations and therefore might be more ace-friendly?...
