Polylingual is a thing.
It's usually 'polyglot' though, right?
That’s a noun not an adjective.
We're talking about language! Don't bring in grammar!!

You jesus hating degenerates!
I only talk one language at a time!
And it's English, just like Jesus spoke.
Citation needed
As a good Lutheran, I read the bible and Jesus speaks German all the time
Now slow down there buckaroo.
I said I only speak one language at a time.
Men have needs. And I need many languages to keep me satisfied. I’m a good christian though so I only speak one at a time.
(/s, although my native language is not english)
I'm not homolingual but I am spanish-curious
Stop being greedy?
I think it's in reference to how bi people are often told they are being "greedy" for wanting all/both sexes rather than just having the '"one" the speaker expects. This usually then leads to the misguided conclusion that they are promiscuous and unfaithful - https://lgbtqiacounseling.com/bisexual/bisexual-stereotypes/#Bisexuals_are_Greedy_or_Unable_to_Commit
We constantly get accused of taking two lovers, thus lowering the amount available for others, despite the incredible challenge of just trying to keep one around when they think you want to cheat on them with someone of the opposite sex.
Leave enough for the rest of us!!
"It's just a phrase" you mean!
I experimented with French for four years in late high school/early college, but didn't we all? I feel like I got it out of my system. I don't even really think about that stuff anymore.
Me, trying to sound cool as an aromantic asexual atheist:
Actually I'm alingual as well
aromantic
I had to read that several times to understand how organic chemistry relates to your post.
Can't somebody smell nice without having to bring chemistry into the equation?
Hum... Actually, no.

Something something "tower of Babel."
it’s actually impossible to be bilingual because you can only ever be speaking at most one language at a time
"Do you speak both English and Spanish?"
"No."
"What about Czech?"
Language hybrids and creoles exist, you could make an argument that those are "speaking two languages at the same time"
Bilingual people do sometimes speak in a mixture of multiple languages to people who speak the same languages
So what am I, being trilingual?
Non binary
You are even more confused, there are only 2 languages
Aw fuck. Which one is made-up?
Dutch.
I knew it
You better be Mormon. Polyglotimy is only allowed for them for some reason.
Tri any language once?
I'm up!
What about three trilinguals at the same time?
What's "heterolingual"? You can only talk to people who speak a different language than the one you use?
Like Han and Chewbacca.
Pidgin ONLY
Pidgins are languages in their own rights. Maybe code switching would fit better but actually no, that's on the spectrum of bilingualism.
Edit: since pidgins (unlike creoles) aren't used as primary languages, I guess I now get what you mean
Entire comments and jokes as hashtags is the most Tumblr thing
