Malewife?
TIL: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=malewife
wow that's stupid on so many levels
Why?
for starters i think it's extremely stupid to supposedly go against traditional gender roles by using language that perpetuates it.
that's like a feminist saying women in the workforce should be called femhusbands.
now that's stupid on so many levels. but I know who you are so it is not unexpected.
dude you're so bad at this
Yeah that's complete bullshit. The word you're looking for is partner. As in we're doing things together and there just aren't gender roles in the house.
Urban dictionary for your definition, clearly you're not mentally well if that's your source...
Ah yes, let me just look it up in the Cambridge Dictionary in order to satisfy your distinguished sensibilities...
Whoops. 0 results
The only other source for a definition is Wiktionary, and guess what, it lists UD as a primary reference.
And then there's KnowYourMeme, but I can promise that this one is even worse for your mental health.
Is this your first day on the Internet or something?
This comment just tickled me. Perfect blend of honest inquiry and brash sarcasm. Well played.
Its a real word if people use it
"All words are made up"
Ah yes the "I think everything is simple because I don't understand it" strategy
There isn't a single word in the dictionary that isn't made up.
So words didnt exist before dictionaries (or writing, for that matter)? Pick up a brain sometime.
Also: LatinX is literally in the merriam-webster dictionary
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Latinx
That doesnt mean that i use it, but by your logic, maybe you should
Cool, so can we now agree that believing dictionaries are a prerequisite for language is ridiculous? I know it and you know it, no matter how many times you try to evade the question by making dumb accusations.
No im just not moronic enough to believe words werent a thing before dictionaries.
