Can you have more than one BFF?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33173points) March 9th, 2016

BFF stands for Best Friend Forever, according to current practice.

“Best” is a superlative (‘better’ is a comparative) which suggests that there can only be one “Best”.

The other day, I overheard a woman say ”<name> is my BFF, and so is <name>”.

If one were a literalist, that sentence would be wrong, because ‘best’ means – that the person is the best in comparison to all others.

Am I being too OCD on the use of the term BFF?
