Re: What do you call it when...?

You could say "soul-mate"

yea. that once meant something.... spawned by the spiritual post hippie days... a while ago; implying this is the person that completes you that ya want by yer side fer evah and evah moah.

and now we see how the term has lost its meaning. as in when Tiny in his newspaper page a while back had;
"Tiny's soul mate... of the day"

whaaa!?

Re: Lifestyles

Are there people who disapprove of straight couples?

There are those that disapprove of straight couples shackin' up. There are those who disapprove of a man not makin' an honest woman of her. Antiquated? I'd say so but that's just me.

Maybe not of all straight couples - but there have been plenty straight couples of which people disapprove (and they are all discussed in the "celebrities" sections of newspapers and magazines.)

You could call each other 'Boo'.

It's a slanged off version of 'beau'...technically she'd be 'ma belle'...but in it's coruption it's kinda become generic between the genders for use.

Re: What do you call it when...?

I told "ma belle" last evening about this thread, and some of the responses --- she was most amused by "Alpha Female," so I suspect that will show up in conversation soon. (She also cracked up at "f**kee," but I think the opportunities to use that one will be fewer.)

We don't really lose sleep over this - in fact, we have fun with it (we find the humor in much of life anyway), and I appreciate the rest of you having fun along with us.

Well, I disapprove of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Angelina's supposed to be with ME!
(My GF laughs when I say that).

Not if you get creative and alter it just slightly...she can call you 'fuh' ...you call her 'kawe' and she can still be Alpha female 'cause kawe means first in 'shinob ;p

Here's another one--"Shmoopie"
As in you're "Shmoopie"
No, you are!
No, you!

And then they can both look at each other and say, "Where the fuh kawe?"

We have that slogan posted on the "Entering" and "Leaving" city limits signs which are planted within eyeshot of each other.

Re: What do you call it when...?

"Partner" can be very "Romantic"! It's how one uses it to describe the love who is sleeping with him/her but not bound in marriage for reasons of their own. I was in a similar situation for eight years. At that time, my partner was everything to me. However, marriage would have been a financial disaster. I played the game well like he did. "Partner"...das all. Financially, I'm secured. I can find all the partners I like!

I had two for four years and one for 2 years. I called them my girlfriends. I mean that's what they were traditionally speaking that is.


Nah partner sounds like somebody you square dance to. But if you're gonna cozy up to another bedwarmer then partner seems so clinical. LOVE MUFFIN's or YEAH BABY has more spice to it. How would you feel if your lover of life, body and soul introduced you as: I'd like you to meet my partner. Eh not even a spark there. BUT wouldn't it be grand if your lover of life, body and soul introduced you as: I'd like you to meet nature's answer to Viagra! Yeah, now that's bragging!

And now you know how I met my "Alpha Female" (just getting back on-topic, even if I have to lie to do so.)
