a theory on three

i am curious about something.  whenever i watch tv, and tv shows bring up the fantasy world of "three", shows use the same term... three-way.  now, my thing is this, i have always used and heard the term threesome.  three-way was a completely new term for me and one i had only ever heard on tv.

so i came up with the theory that tv deems threesome as bad and three-way is less offensive.  correct me if you disagree and/or use a different term all together.

this evening at dinner with my mother, i heard her use the term three-way.  laugh.  and i did just that, i laughed not because i was uncomfortable... no, my mother is the one who will offer spermicide... no, i laughed because she picked it up on tv.  parents these days... they say the darnedest things!
