Shane is bothered and embarrassed by the word “lovers” in front of his parents. He moodily demands that no one use that word ever again.
Book vs TV Series
This dialogue goes similarly in the book, but the show makes it little better by repeating the “lovers” line and Shane being embarrassed by it. In the book Shane’s mother realizes the meaning without speaking it out, she just says: “Oh, I see.”
