Amish became a defensive euphemism against the “racism” obsessed. You cannot accuse someone using the word of the cardinal/criminal sin (ask Mark Fuhrman) of “racism”!
They knew they were twins because they couldn't tell who was the fat one and who was the thin one.
I suppose we could start using Mennonite instead.
Unfortunately Royalty has passed.
He hit the bodies and rode them over and the thinner girl who was on her knees just propelled like in the air and then when he got to her body again, he just rolled over, the eyewitness said. “
OK, now I understand. This occurred on Mars.
Theyve probably identified the sisters, but havent released any personal details.
I believe that the type of twins to which you are referring is called "fraternal," or non-identical twins, who each started out as a separate egg, fertilized by separate sperm. I am a fraternal twin. My twin and I look less like each other than do my younger siser and I.
So, the two girls were brothers?
No, their baby daddies were. They’re paternal twins.
LOL!
“twins who arent identical are fraternal”....mebee 1 is a crackhead
“fraternal” is the term that is used and has been used for eons by doctors and the world in general for twins, including girls, who are not identical. There are two varieties of twin, “identical” and “fraternal,” having to do with the fertilization of one or two eggs.
My comment was to another FReeper perhaps having a momentary lapse, who referred to them as ‘paternal.’ There’s no such thing as ‘paternal’ twins.
