- slangSynonym of aro-ace (“aromantic and asexual”).
No matter how we talk about our asexuality (or aromanticism), where we fall on the ace/aro spectrum, or how we decide to express our identity, knowing that other people feel the same way we do means a great deal.

“I'm ace.” The moment the word leaves his mouth, it's like he'd been holding his breath for an hour and finally let it out. I keep staring at him, and I realize I'm being rude, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to say. “A-ace?” “Technically ace-aro. Asexual. Aromantic.” My lip warbles. “Oh ... I don't know what that means.”
