Xush (pronounced “zush”): umbrella term for “crushes”; word for a non-specific crush. alternative to calling them all “crushes”, since that can get confusing since crush is already used for a specific type of crush (romantic). Spelt with an x to indicate the non-specificity of it.
Example uses:
Ex. 1: “I have a xush on [character]!” “Oh, what kind?” “I don’t know exactly, but it sure is a xush!”
Ex. 2: “Crushes, squishes, and meshes are three types of xushes that are usually based on emotional feelings”
