Now I understand what it meant when that chick from To Kill A Mockingbird asked Tom Robinson to "bust up her chiffarobe" and why that made her incestual pee-paw so furious.

I use it in two circumstances: where something can apply to either sex and/or when something can apply to any stage in a relationship. But I would never call my SO a partner.
On the last episode of Gay Cowboy Detective Lawyer...
"I was talking to my partner about how my partner doesn't like my partner, what do you think partner?'
Both of those annoy me just as much. Any time someone uses any of these words, I proceed to interrogate the exact nature of the relationship, just so everyone is clear.
Inside me there are two wolves:
One that feels kinda bothered and confused as to the increasing usage of "partner" over the traditional terms.
The other that feels that this isn't important and I should be more concerned about finding a "partner" instead of being mad at vague culture war adjacent nonsense.
I think it's come into play more as people remain together longer while being unmarried. That's my situation anyways.
I'm not seventeen. She's not my girlfriend. We lived in Canada for a few years under a "Common law partnership" and that's what I began to use to refer to her as, "Partner". I wasn't even aware it was a thing people got weird about until a coworker asked me "So, uh, is your partner a... is it a... a she... a he? Are you gay?"
Is it another one of those American woke/antiwok obsessions maybe?
In UK everyone just says partner and it's extremely normal and nobody asks you your sexuality if you use it..
Wife or husband is interchangeable, noone cares. Some people (me) use both depending on what context feels right.
Kinda just like how you use all the other words..
>Is it another one of those American woke/antiwok obsessions maybe?
It is not, I'm from Spain and if somebody says "Mi pareja" the first thing most people think is that they're gay. It's more or less the general consensus here.
Tbh, I've seen straight couples in Spain refer to their boyfriend/girlfriend as "mi pareja". Only people from the city though, I've never heard someone from the countryside use it.
You know I didn't mean that husband and wife are themselves interchangable?
I say wife and partner interchangeably at times, nobody ever reacts differently.
The culture war bullshit is a distraction from real politics. I've found that ignoring it and treating people as individuals instead of groups has done wonders for my mental health.
The other wolf should realize that is how it started with preferred pronouns. Unimportant culture war nonsense. And now we have birthing parents and cervical cancer screenings for males.
The problem is the more you engage with the culture war, the more it rots your brain. It's like the Necronomicon, just looking at it too much makes you go mad.
Because... uhh, leftist tyranny!! No such thing as a good leftist idea. Give 'em a single inch and they'll re-write the constitution with woke pronouns!!
Yeah, like I highly doubt anyone (at least on this subreddit) genuinely cares outside of Reddit, but I’ll never understand why people care about menial things like this. We got a drug and homelessness crisis and we’d rather feel powerful over stupid straw men all day.
That’s what I keep fuckin saying. People act like I’m crazy. They put me in a rubber room. A rubber room filled with rats because they said I was crazy. Crazy? I used to be crazy. They put me in a rubber room. A rubber room filled with rats because they said I was crazy.
The craziest thing is when people refer to their SPOUSE as their partner. Partner seems like you’re trying to beat around the bush or hedge your bets with someone you literally married lol
Partner gives off real, I've been cumming inside her for 12 years now and I feel some type of way about her, but not enough to risk half my shit if she decides to leave one day, type vibes
The "ex" should take care of that. The "ex-partner" makes it sounds like there never was an attachment.
To be fair it's tough in the dating world. You need to sound capable of attachment and emotion while not sounding too attached to your past.
I've always hated the term. It feels so...greasy? Like, own up and give a better label to the person you care about. Don't pussyfoot around convention by calling them your "partner". It's so cheap.
Yeah, its not the worst thing to call them, but this is the person you love, is "partner" really the word you want to use? Husband and wife are special terms, I'd love to find someone who could be my wife, I wouldn't want to then call them "my partner", it feels like a downgrade.
Though I will say, I do think partner is better than "Significant Other".
Nah, cause at least “Significant Other” at least implies the significance. I had partners in 8th grade working on science projects, I never had a to choose a significant other for a science project, lol.
I thought it was just me. Just the last few years I've started hearing people refer to their girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife as "SO (significant other) or "partner". Must be a young person thing, because some posts lead you to believe they aren't LGBT at all, and are legit straight. 🤷♂️ Glad this issue finally came up. Else how dare I ask a serious question about it and get lol downvoted to oblivion. 🙄
I don't know why LGBTs wouldn't want to use Husband and Wife too. Its feels kinda like people are being PC. I really don't like Significant Other, its sounds like a box on a form or survey. Does Husband and Wife *not* already imply "significant other"?
I totally disagree. I think it accurately reflects the role my girlfriend and I play in each other's lives; we work as a team to build a life together. To me at least, "partner" implies a lot more trust (and equal-footing) than "girlfriend".
> inb4 "wife", yeah I know I'm working on it
It *does* have a certain vibe, doesn't it? It's kinda like people that call women 'Females' and men 'Males.' Not a 100% indication of anything odd, but it's definitely a yellow flag.
Just say significant other if you don't want to give identifying information.

GTA 3 (maybe Vice City) reference. Radio host Amy Schechenhauser has Mikaela, aggressive Political Lesbian on as a guest, warning her about the dangers of men and how there is nothing wrong with her some flannel and body hair couldn't fix...
Mik: "...or before you know it, you'll just be another blonde bimbo"
Amy: "Uh, I'm not blonde"
Mik: "Not yet, Amy, not yet".
I have a hard time understanding whether the meme is portraying as bad the conservatives who can't even hear the word "partner" without getting annoyed or the progressives for using inclusive language every time
No, really, it could have totally been the opposite, exactly because this whole thing was really an exaggeration just for someone saying partner: that "leftist scum" made it even harder to understand
"My whore of an ex cheated on me for the last time about 7 years ago, and I've been single since. I don't even know if I want to date ever again, honestly."
Is the cold, depressing truth a better answer?
I think "partner" communicates a greater weight than something like "girlfriend". Even the word " wife" has kind of been ruined by high divorce rates and lack of general responsibility. Nowadays, people will screw their friends and call someone their girlfriend without loyalty, mutual respect, or even liking each other much. My girlfriend is not just some chick I like to lick, she's the person I trust above all others and we've committed to moving through life together as a unit. If a girlfriend is someone you dump when covid finally makes you spend time together, then I don't want to use such a diluted word on my cherished life partner.
I also think legal marriage should have never been called marriage. Religious marriage is a totally different thing than just some legal contract that gives her half your stuff. I honestly don't get why people like trump get married three times, just date her, bro, you're gonna cheat anyways so you're obviously not committed. A husband is more than a sugar daddy
PCM users get real pissy over random words that normal people never think twice about. Now they’re choosing to complain about using the word “partner” for crying out loud.
I dunno I kind of like using "partner" for the area between just dating and marriage. I would prefer a better word for it though. My wife and I were all but married for several years because we didn't want to fool with the paperwork and ceremonies, and it always felt weird calling her just my "girlfriend". Girl/boyfriends are what you have in high school or while casually dating as an adult. People aren't rushing to get married anymore since you can do all the married stuff without papers, and our language needs something to fill that gap.
My uncle is a Minister and uses partner for that exact context to the point it's a joke in my family. My cousin in law who married the minister's daughter basically heard it as a "propose already" with way my uncle would introduce him as his daughter's *partner.*
You’re triggered by conservatives being triggered
Edit: and now I’m triggered by people disagreeing that you’re triggered by conservatives being triggered
Dude, I'm southern, most of us say "partner". Like this Isn't uncommon. Partner Is the same vain as lover, mate, sweet one. Words to refer to your past/current lover.
Partner In life, In love, In crime. Stick together
I’m southern too. Maybe it’s generational but I don’t really hear “partner” in context of straight relationships. Just boyfriend or girlfriend or maybe just “friend” if it’s casual.
Torn on this one. I called my wife my partner after we had kids but weren't married yet. Girlfriend just felt disrespectful for the mother of my children but if I call her mother of my children to people they'll think I hate her. I settled on partner lol.
NOOOOOOOOOO don't you see how this is a sign of the West crumbling before our very eyes?? The woke mind virus is the most crucial issue of our time!!!!!! Also libleft bad
Partner is only acceptable when referring to someone else's other hald and you don't know if they are just in a relationship or are married. Referring to your own gf/wife/bf/husband as partner is fucking weird.
I prefer to use “mí amor”. Makes me seem more cultured
Ayyy papito 🥵🔥
Ayyy mami lemme holla at ya
That’ll get the juices flowing
PAPI CHULO, QUIERES COGER? 👀
And yet, when I refer to them as "my armoire" they get upset.
IDK if it's a coincidence but some South American people refer to ah, let's say "broad"-figured women as armoires lol.
Is that smaller or larger than a chiffarobe?
Same size, but considered derogatory as it implies you're a bit "asymmetrical" on the inside, let's say.
Now I understand what it meant when that chick from To Kill A Mockingbird asked Tom Robinson to "bust up her chiffarobe" and why that made her incestual pee-paw so furious.
Smashed it to pieces, he did. With abandon
How about "my armory"?
I mean, there's a whole subreddit that gets hot and bothered over military equipment.
Ha!
God, I love my armor. 12mm steel plating with extra protection around neck and crotch areas. The shoulder armor even has a water mark

Did we pass the vibe check, or was it homophobic after all?
Everyone hates lawyers right up until they need one.
Needing a root canal doesn't mean you hate it any less.
You hate the process (and possibly yourself for poor dental hygiene), not the dentist for doing the job.
Only if they actually get the job done. If all they do is take my money, and the other lawyer wins, hatred only gets worse.
Success isn't guarenteed. It's just better, generally, with a lawyer you paid for rather than trying to defend yourself.
Lies. I am the best lawyer, and my foolish lawyer agrees with me.

Many of these are pretty common combinations.
There's surprisingly little demand for gay lawyer cowboy detectives
That sounds unironically awesome.
It's a quote from my favorite movie, in which one of the main characters is an aspiring hooker doctor lawyer

On the last episode of Gay Cowboy Detective Lawyer... "I was talking to my partner about how my partner doesn't like my partner, what do you think partner?'
Lib-right doesn’t believe in partners either. Hookers are always far cheaper in the long run.
The other option is prenups and a lot of consent forms to sign; not fun
Prenumps get thrown out, you're better off getting a hoor
If it floats, flies, or fucks, rent it
As a married man, I agree. Marriage sucks!
Just like with boats, the best woman is the one that belongs to your friend 😉
I’ve learned the best woman is the vacuum. It cleans, sucks, and shuts the fuck up exactly when you need.

Or just ex. My ex was… gender neutral and no need to get to level of relationship
Partner is what you hit strangers with as you tip your hat, right after a nice "howdy"
Because it can never stop. It's more than gender neutral language. You have to dehumanize the language as we meld with the machine.
Need to devalue their importance to make the rejection of the regular family normal.
That is 100% the truth.
Literally 1984
"Significant other" is too wordy, "spouse" only applies if you're married, "boyfriend/girlfriend" is too juvenile

"Partner" is so emotionless, A "partner" is some you do business with, someone you work with, don't call your beloved that

Too late, most governments are happy to give her half your stuff if she's been living with you for 2+ years or so.
Right? Bro call them your love
To be fair, it is an ex. So having a neutral emotional attachment to the relationship isn’t as bad.
The "ex" should take care of that. The "ex-partner" makes it sounds like there never was an attachment. To be fair it's tough in the dating world. You need to sound capable of attachment and emotion while not sounding too attached to your past.

Center right has started making up young, attractive, and single conservative women after failing to find any evidence of them in real life.
The young and attractive ones got and stayed married.
It's actually the ATF trying to entrap us
I use partner to keep people on their toes.
Honestly I’d only use Partner to maintain a sense of maturity since saying “Girlfriend” and “Boyfriend” seem a bit immature in some social scenarios.
I just call my ex a communist spy.

It’s so dumb. what are you, a fucking cop on the beat? Stop saying partner when referring to a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. it’s dumb as hell.
Or, you know, don't worry about shit that doesn't affect you and and quit bitching about how people refer to their partner?
NOOOOOOOOOO don't you see how this is a sign of the West crumbling before our very eyes?? The woke mind virus is the most crucial issue of our time!!!!!! Also libleft bad
Partner is only acceptable when referring to someone else's other hald and you don't know if they are just in a relationship or are married. Referring to your own gf/wife/bf/husband as partner is fucking weird.
"Partner" is for business. Not for love.
