0It's not that it's "NOT" said - it's just not commonly said. If I'm making small talk at a party, I am far more likely to ask about "brothers and sisters" than "siblings."0-

And can you say about a girl and a boy, that "they are siblings"?

If a girl would like to give a gift to her brother, she can't write to it "forever siblings" (like "forever friends" ;D )?
