if ur friend says that there's a word for it, why dont u ask him/her?
maybe a "lawyer" lol.. lawyers keep on asking...
u never mentioned that she thinks.. u mentioned that she says "there's a word for it"
anyway, she's right.. there's a word for it but i don't remember the word.. pls let me know if u already knew..
