Re: What single sentence made you judge your co-workers?

[(Anonymous)]

'Partner' is a pretty useful umbrella term for more-than-casual-but-not-married. My mother used it to describe her long-term lover.

But way to go for throwing around unnecessarily hostile language.

You're awesome.

Yeah, it's coming more into vogue as a general term for "serious but not married" regardless of the gender combo involved

It might be different in your part of the world, but where I live it's less 'coming into vogue' and more 'standard usage for decades'.

I hadn't... actually realised it was a term people got het up over.

I think it's always been used but it's becoming more trendy, if that makes sense.

I also didn't realize people made a big deal out of it.

NAYRT -- I've always found it a little awkward, regardless of the gender/orientation of the couple involved, because it seems weirdly euphemistic to me. Like when elderly people talk about someone's boyfriend as their "good friend" or their "roommate," because they don't want to acknowledge that they're an unmarried couple who's living together. With that said, it's been an umbrella term for as long as I can remember, so this appropriating nonsense is just drama for drama's sake.
