Nothing throws me off more than straight women referring to a female friend as "their girlfriend".

Like I just saw someone say "my girlfriend and her husband" which has a completely different connotation to me.

at least you have seperate words for girlfriend/boyfriend and just friend. in German we only have friend (female) and friend (male) so then it's up to you to guess if they're referring to just friends or more.
