Definition

The dismissive label media outlets use to describe lesbian relationships while maintaining plausible deniability about the obvious romantic context. It's the heteronormative broadcaster's way of saying 'we see you but we're not acknowledging what's actually happening here' with maximum corporate cheerfulness.

Example Usage

Kara and Lena were caught making out on camera, but The CW insists they're just gal pals, as if that's what best friends do.
