Question about English (US)
I wanted to ask about a phrase "to fraternize with the enemy". It's a weird thing, but dictionary says it literally means to be a bisexual. I'm confused web searching gives no result. Could you explain this phrase please?

That's not a meaning I ever heard of. Was it an English dictionary?
Fraternizing with the enemy is normally when soldiers from opposite sides start to get along and friendly, undermining the whole war. It's a crime in time of war.

@Toast7with7Toad It may be an existing idiom. Since I'm not part of those communities, I wouldn't know about it... ^^
