Some linguistic theories suggest that words are arbitrary symbols that do not have an inherent connection to the objects they represent. This means that the relationship between a word and its meaning is conventional and culturally determined rather than based on an inherent connection.

The fact that your boyfriend is in your house represents the desire for the genitalia to combine in such a way, that is, to have intercourse (with your boyfriend, most likely, as he was the symbol used).
