Only so much...

Quite a few people here (in the UK) use it in the 'my gf/wife/lover' sense, rather than PC same-sex, but anyone over about 30 seems to assume you're in a same-sex relationship.

As a trans woman that is somewhat 'stealth', I had to point out the problem with this to my BF, who for a long time insisted on using 'partner' (as he had previously with his first wife), after seeing one too many 'second looks' after he called me his partner in public - once you prime people for considering that it's not a 'regular' heterosexual relationship, they start to overthink it.

I don't think you'll ever get rid of that connotation for many people, even if they're accepting of same-sex or other non-heteronormative relationships.

I never thought about that, but that's actually really interesting and a good point.

> Some goons experience their entire sex lives via the internet and that means their computer chair is the closest they'll ever get to a longterm sex partner. I'm sure they don't appreciate you dismissing their upholstered life partners like that.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I think I'm gonna go with "slam pig" from now on. Or partner or boyfriend, I guess.

It's because they hear people call their partner "my boo" I thought that was obvious

Anyway I'm glad this lovely conversation has finished because now we can talk about what foods people enjoy.

Nah, he's just gearing up for one of his more dramatic roles.

He was clean shaven in One Hour Photo and What Dreams May Come.

This morning I found the director's cut DVD of Pineapple Express on the street. Dude, Where's My Car? was next to it, but I left that for the next person.

EXTREME INSERTION: Jun 4, 2011; by LadyAmbien

Will I get more use out of a big rear end comfy chair or a loveseat? I'm moving to a smaller apartment and want room, I guess the loveseat would be okay for people to sleep on if they really needed to or two people to sit on for a movie but I'm usually just gently caress it I really like the chair and ill just buy a beanbag or folding chairs for my friends but also I like to sit sideways a little so maybe a loveseat is better, but my neighbor down the street is selling this bigass comfy chair that I like and I have to decide today, man, this is tough. It's a bigass deep reddish brown leather chair versus a loveseat

You can't gently caress a loveseat so go with the chair.

Crow Jane: Oct 18, 2012; nothin' wrong with a lady drinkin' alone in her room

Why would loving a loveseat be more difficult than loving a chair? I'd assume that where furniture-loving is concerned, where there's a will, there's a way.

If you sit in your chair long enough your flesh will eventually rot and merge into the fabric of the chair and your clothing and then you will be your khakis.

If you're sitting in a chair long enough to meld to it, you probably gave up wearing pants a long time ago.

Game on a hardwood floor. The discomfort keeps you focused and on edge. Pros use cold concrete, but I'm not that pro.

Some of the guys in the EMS threads have probably seen cases like this and could tell us what they were wearing but I'm not sure I want to know that level of detail.

Apparently sitting on an exercise ball is a thing; a couple artist friends use them because you need to utilize proper posture while sitting on one. A couple other artist friends have switched over to a standing desk. Me, my chair is beat to hell & instead of doing work I'm on Something Awful all day. :v:
