Seems like Adam's traveling again. 'Miles Tougeaux @milestougeaux 15m15 minutes ago @adamlambert Safe Travels! Stay Warm!' Probably off to London! My guess anyways... |

Easy Definition: Friends who have casual sex (not involving commitment). Ha, I know what it means, I was talking about translation. It actually is not that easy, because the whole connotation of the expression is special. This mix of dry, but flippant commentary, tongue in cheek observation, or puritan disapproval, is unique to this expression. I.e. the American expression 'a booty-call' also means casual sex without commitment, but the social implication of the situation or the relationship is a completely different one. Language is tricky, and there are not always simple ways to translate. Btw, this discussion was, at least for me, removed from A&S, at this point. Just a cultural discussion, triggered by those playfully separate, but not really separate picture sets. I guess I'm not seeing the nuance or the difficulty in translating it since I don't speak Finnish. "Friends with benefits" is having sex with someone you care something about--a friend. A "booty call" is sex someone. |

But then Adam wouldn't be letting us know that ~someone else is taking his picture. This is quite the choreography playing out here..lol.. I'm having fun with it. I can't get my panties twisted in knots because I think Adam and Sauli might be enjoying this ride more than we are. Their photos and they IMO are not being posted randomly. This means..photos can sometimes be grist for the mill. That's where we get to play. Atop is all about speculation. And ninja supremos. It's what we've always done. Adam gets to sit on the sidelines and watch us go bonkers   The man likes to be entertained..who can blame him? Post of the day! LOL. Spot on. Entertainment is being had on both sides. He is throwing oil into the flames, so he must enjoy the bonfire. Helps with that crisp air, I suppose. Btw, how do you explain 'friends with benefits' to a Finish speaker?
Is there an expression? Because German sure does not have anything like that, at least I cannot think of anything remotely close to this.
And Irish, I don't think anyone is suggesting that they never had a real romantic relationship. He called it Rakastan! And I love your romantic thinking, even when I don't always share it. The question was more that people have different ideas, how the relationship has evolved since then. And again, we all throw a little of our own experience in there, project it onto them. That's how we come to see so different things, when we all start out with the same, albeit limited set of information or images. And, if interest in personal life and sex life defines a rock star, then Adam has clearly made it big time. That's for sure.
Craazy, we have a German expression for "friends with benefits", we call it "Freunde mit gewissen Vorzügen"!    |

What I love about the pictures of Adam biking and out in the air hiking is that he is active. That had been a hallmark of the relationship with Sauli who Adam described as a firecracker. Adam loves to club, shop and eat. No dissing - simply what we see him doing in his downtime. Maybe he is on his bike at home a lot and we don't see it but when he spends time with Sauli, we almost inevitably get pictures of them doing active things - in the water, hiking etc. I think that's great. |

Thanks Betty, never heard that expression. Been gone for too long, I suppose.
