does "ship" exclusively/mostly refer to romantic relationships for you and if so what's a non-romantic equivalent?

Ship does mean romantic relationship to me. I mean, I'd happily read about Natasha and Clint being BFFs, but I wouldn't consider it shipping Natasha&Clint (I'm oldschool enough to still feel the ampersand is there for a reason, versus the slash of romantic and/or sexual pairing.)

I don't know if I have a non-romantic equivalent to be honest. But I never read a great deal of gen or non-romance focused fic in the first place, so it's not what I'm in fandom to read.
