The girlfriend is worried about her partner thinking of another woman, but he's actually deep in philosophical programming territory: if text is called a "string" (a sequence of characters), shouldn't a single character be called a "strand"? It's the kind of shower thought that keeps developers up at night. The terminology actually comes from early computing where strings were literally sequences of characters "strung together," but nobody bothered to make the naming convention perfectly consistent with the singular form. Classic programming nomenclature being delightfully arbitrary.
