Used as a susbtitute for the subject pronoun (non-standard) or the Demonstrative pronoun those.

Kiss them good

When a person grabs their romantic partner and passionately kisses them. Sometimes, it can turn into make out session.

Them <3

That special someone that keeps you going no matter what. Just one look at their perfect face, their starry eyes makes you want to melt. They make you so happy that you cant go a day without thinking about them. They make you stay awake at night thinking about what you and them could become, if you were even in their league. Sometimes they are a very close friend, or just someone you deeply admire or just needs to exist for you to obssess over them. It doesnt even have to be in a romantic way. They just need to make you feel a warmness you only feel in their presence.

person 1: "what did you do last night?"
you: "i thought about them <3"

A banal expression born of the women's movement in hopes that President Trump would possibly think a bit of his mindless use of Twitter.

``We hope that all would tweet others as you want them to tweet you.''
